Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna Kicked out As Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has kicked out Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as the party's Secretary General. The decision to show Sifuna the door was reached during the Party National Executive Committee meeting held in Mombasa on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026. The party said Sifuna has been relieved SG of his responsibilities with immediate effect. "Having deliberated on matters relating to the conduct of the Secretary General, Senator Edwin Sifuna, the NEC resolved to remove him from office with immediate effect, in accordance with party constitution and applicable laws, effective immediately," the statement read. The NEC expressed grave concern over the rising levels of indiscipline within the party, particularly at the senior leadership level. The committee underscored that ODM is governed by its constitution, the rule of law and collective decision-making through its duly constituted organs. Effectively, Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo, who is one of the Deputy Secretary Generals will act in this position until a substantive holder of the office is elected. Sifuna has been leading a rebel wing opposed to the ODM-UDA talks, deepening friction within the 20-year-old party. Those perceived as his allies in the NEC — including Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and Rift Valley odm stalwart Kipkorir Menjo — were on Sunday removed from the NEC WhatsApp group.
