Millie Odhiambo Response to Junet Mohamed Over His Message Targeting Sifuna and Those Who Left ODM

Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo has weighed in on the growing political divisions within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), as disagreements involving Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and other party members continue to attract attention.

The developments come after Suna East MP Junet Mohamed made remarks targeting Sifuna and politicians who have distanced themselves from the party’s current direction, reigniting debate over ODM’s internal leadership struggles.

Millie has previously expressed reservations about the continued criticism directed at Sifuna, warning that such attacks could inadvertently strengthen his political influence instead of weakening it.

The legislator has maintained that political disagreements should be addressed through dialogue rather than public exchanges that risk deepening divisions within the party.

Her position comes at a time when ODM is navigating a difficult transition following the death of its longtime leader, Raila Odinga, whose influence played a significant role in maintaining unity among different factions.

Sifuna, who has emerged as a prominent voice among leaders associated with the Linda Mwananchi movement, has increasingly found himself at odds with sections of the party leadership over its political direction and relationship with President William Ruto’s administration.

The disagreements have also drawn attention to the future of ODM as politicians begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Sifuna’s recent meeting with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at his Wamunyoro residence further intensified debate about possible political realignments. The engagement sparked discussions about whether leaders from different political camps could cooperate in pursuit of shared interests.

Meanwhile, Junet’s remarks have highlighted the growing frustration among some ODM leaders over members perceived to be challenging the party’s established leadership structure.

As the political contest continues, Millie’s position underscores the importance of dialogue and internal democracy in managing disagreements.

With the 2027 elections approaching, ODM faces the challenge of resolving its internal differences before they undermine its unity and electoral ambitions.

Whether the rival factions will find common ground remains uncertain as political alliances continue to take shape.
