In a statement attributed to party officials linked to party leader Oburu Odinga, ODM expressed appreciation for Sifuna’s past contribution to the party while reaffirming that the NDC remains the highest decision-making organ.
The convention reportedly endorsed the earlier resolution by the National Executive Council (NEC), effectively bringing an end to Sifuna’s tenure as Secretary-General.
Despite the political tension surrounding his exit, the party maintained a conciliatory tone, wishing Sifuna success in his future political and professional engagements.
Oburu Odinga, who has been steering ODM affairs following the transition in leadership, emphasized unity and discipline within the party ranks, noting that ODM’s focus remains on strengthening internal structures ahead of future national political contests.
The developments come at a time when ODM continues to experience leadership realignments after a period of internal disputes that have tested cohesion among senior officials. Sifuna, a long-serving figure in the party, has been at the centre of several internal party debates in recent months.
Meanwhile, supporters on social media have been reacting strongly to the NDC outcome, with discussions trending around the party’s direction and future leadership dynamics.
The latest update was also reflected in a widely circulated Facebook post highlighting ODM’s decision and Oburu Odinga’s remarks on the matter, further fueling public debate on the political shift within the party.
As ODM moves forward, attention now turns to who will permanently fill the Secretary-General position and how the party will manage unity ahead of the next election cycle.
