“I Thought You Would Mourn”: ODM Sends This Message to Sifuna Amid Oburu’s Death Rumours

ODM politician Catherine Omanyo has shared her thoughts on Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, saying she expected him to reconsider his position rather than continue with his political stand.

“I thought Sifuna would mourn and eventually come to his senses and say, ‘No, I’m not quitting,’” Omanyo said.

Her remarks add to the ongoing debate surrounding Sifuna’s political future and the growing differences within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

Sifuna has remained a key figure in discussions about the party’s direction as leaders and supporters debate its future leadership and political alliances. The senator has also attracted attention through his involvement in the Linda Mwananchi movement, which has brought together leaders calling for a different political approach.

The latest comments from Omanyo highlight the different expectations among ODM members regarding Sifuna’s next move. While some leaders may want him to remain within the party, others have supported efforts to build a broader political movement.

The disagreements come as political leaders begin preparing for the 2027 General Election. Questions about party loyalty, leadership and possible alliances are becoming increasingly important as politicians seek to maintain support among voters.

ODM has played a major role in Kenya’s politics for years, and discussions about its direction could influence how its leaders approach the next election. The party’s relationship with other political formations has also attracted attention as leaders consider their options.

However, Omanyo’s statement reflects her own expectations and should not be taken as confirmation of Sifuna’s political intentions. His position should be understood through his own public statements and any official decisions he makes.

As the debate continues, attention will remain on whether Sifuna chooses to strengthen his position within ODM or pursue a different political path.

The developments could have implications for the party’s unity as the 2027 election approaches.

Do you think Sifuna should remain in ODM or continue building a separate political movement?
