Bad News for Sifuna and Babu Owino as Simba Arati Sends Them a Tough Warning

Political temperatures within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) continue to rise after Kisii Governor Simba Arati sent a strong message to leaders who have left or are considering leaving the party, insisting that the movement remains strong despite recent changes.

Arati, while addressing supporters, dismissed claims that ODM was weakening, saying those who believe the party is losing direction should be prepared for a political surprise. 

He specifically warned former ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino that the party remains firmly established.

"Sifuna na Babu wajue chama kiko imara, kule wanaenda kuna moto," Arati said, a statement that has sparked debate among political observers and supporters.

The remarks came at a time when ODM is experiencing internal political shifts, with some leaders seeking new political paths while others continue defending the party’s future ahead of the 2027 General Election. 

Arati has consistently maintained that ODM has the structures and support needed to remain a major force in Kenyan politics.

The latest developments have also attracted attention following reports of Jubilee Party members moving closer to ODM, a move seen by political analysts as part of wider realignments ahead of the next election. 

The defections have added momentum to ODM’s efforts to strengthen its political base across different regions.

Supporters of the party have welcomed the new entrants, arguing that the changes demonstrate ODM’s continued influence in national politics. 

However, critics believe the ongoing disagreements among some leaders could affect the party’s unity if not addressed.

RECOMMENDED:
Arati’s message appears aimed at reassuring ODM supporters that internal disagreements and political movements by individual leaders will not weaken the party. He has urged members to remain loyal and focused as the country heads toward another intense election season.

As political alliances continue shifting, all eyes remain on ODM and its leadership as they seek to maintain unity while preparing for the battles ahead.
