ODM Camp Unsettled By Sifuna’s Move To Meet Gachagua in Wamunyoro as MP Kaluma, Alai Issue Remarks

Top Orange Democratic Movement leaders have expressed strong indignation following Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s decision to meet former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at his Wamunyoro residence.

Sifuna’s recent political pivot toward independent opposition efforts, particularly following ODM’s decision to support President William Ruto’s government, has deepened rift lines within his former political home.

Prominent ODM figures have launched fierce verbal attacks, dismissing the Wamunyoro consultative meeting as a desperate political misstep.

Homabay Town MP George Kaluma has released a scathing statement targeting Sifuna and the Linda Mwananchi brigade, labeling the visiting delegation as political puppets who have surrendered their principles.

Kaluma has mocked their diplomatic efforts in Nyeri, claiming that their political strategy against the ruling administration has failed to dismantle the deep roots of established parties or sway national opinion.

Concurrently, Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has added his voice to the growing chorus of criticism, scathingly calling Gachagua an unsuitable leader and rebuking opposition members who have treated him as a savior.

Alai has openly condemned the visiting delegation for compromising their integrity and abandoning core ideals simply to strike opportunistic political deals.

These bitter reactions have highlighted the escalating hostility between mainstream ODM loyalists and breakaway leaders who have sought alternative realignments.

Sifuna’s bold outreach to Gachagua has clearly provoked the party leadership, triggering intense public disputes and exposing deep ideological divisions.

As the political temperature continues to climb, this public fallout has demonstrated that strategic moves ahead of the 2027 General Election have created permanent fractures within traditional party alliances.
