In a stark intervention, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi has publicly urged the Nairobi Senator to halt his legal battles to reclaim the party’s top administrative seat, bluntly declaring that the political outfit has "rotted" and is no longer worth the energy.
This candid advice marks a significant shift in the narrative surrounding Sifuna’s removal.
While the embattled lawmaker has been gearing up for a prolonged boardroom and courtroom war to defend his position, key voices within his political circle are suggesting that a tactical retreat might be the wiser path.
For Sifuna, the dilemma is deeply personal and political. Fighting to stay inside a house where the leadership has clearly shut the door risks draining his political capital.
On the flip side, walking away means relinquishing a highly influential role within one of Kenya's largest political parties.
Osotsi’s tough-love message frames the struggle not as a test of resilience, but as a futile exercise in trying to salvage an institution that has fundamentally lost its way.
As the dust settles on the National Executive Committee's rigorous maneuvers to finalize his ouster, the focus shifts to how Sifuna will respond to this friendly counsel.
Will he heed the call to abandon the sinking ship and chart a fresh political path in Linda Mwananchi or will he double down on the legal fight just to prove a point?
One thing is certain that the internal cracks within ODM are widening,m and the advice from his allies indicates that the battle for the Secretary-General seat is rapidly becoming a losing proposition.
