Could Edwin Sifuna be following Raila Odinga’s political playbook? Slightly more than three decades ago, Raila lost his position in FORD-Kenya, walked away and built NDP into a powerful political force. Today, Sifuna too has lost his position as ODM secretary general and is building a new political movement... show more

The office of The ODM Party’s Secretary General is not a platform for personal opinion. It is an institutional role that demands discipline and loyalty to the party constitution. Edwin Sifuna has failed in this duty. If he wishes to pursue a different political path, that is his democratic right. But as long as he remains ODM’s Secretary General, he must respect the Party Leader and communicate the party’s official position, not his own. The Secretary General does not make policy. He articulates it. Personal views masquerading as party position are unacceptable. He was handpicked by the party, and the party can handpick another. ODM is bigger than any individual.

Sen. Edwin Sifuna: It is in the public domain that my opposition to the party's alliance with Ruto started long before Raila passed on. He understood my reasons and accommodated them. It is also a known fact that, regardless of what political deals Raila struck with different regimes, he would never have allowed his party to be turned into a mere appendage of State House. #K24Siasa

For decades, Raila Odinga has been the architect of change in Kenya, proving that you don't need the crown to shape a nation's destiny. His decades-long fight for democracy and reform is a masterclass in political resilience. Not as a flawless icon, but as a deeply consequential and sometimes contradictory figure.

Kenyans in the Western region are anticipating the massive Linda Mwananchi movement rallies scheduled for July 25th and July 26th, 2026. The two-day political tour is being billed by allies as a "mother-of-all-rallies" milestone that could shift regional and national political dynamics ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Tony Gachoka: Sifuna has got three advantages: he was born in Bungoma, his mother is from Kakamega, and he is the son of Raila. By staying close to Raila, he was able to inherit the baba orphans and constituencies. Sifuna is the reincarnation of Baba. I want to tell every Luhya, you must all come behind Sifuna. If the entire Western comes behind Sifuna, there will be no election in 2027. Sifuna can sit with Kalonzo, and they can form a ticket that can take Ruto home #CitizenSundayLive

"This was the first time that I have ever heard Erika Kirk speak publicly, would it be an overstatement to say we witnessed the birth of a political star?" "She is a political force, there's no doubt about it. And she's now in a position, that her political star could rise"

Edwin Sifuna: I want to take this opportunity to say pole to the entire ODM fraternity and to the family of the late Raila Odinga. I want to apologise to the members of ODM and the country in general for the delay in the morning because this news was broken by other media before we could do that. We had to wait for the head of state to make that announcement officially because Raila Odinga was not just the leader of ODM, he was a statesman and a pan Africanist. His elder brother Oburu Odinga was upcountry and we had to wait for him to come to Nairobi so that that announcement could be made

A good strategist is one who transforms weaknesses into opportunities and threats into challenges. FORD was a movement converted into a political party, so was ODM. The AUC campaign should be converted into a political force to transform Kenya. Kenyans have experienced historical injustices where one section of the society has dominated the public service, political and economic landscape for 63 years. They are the modern day "colonial power". They feel entitled and use their politically acquired wealth to fight any president who ascends to the presidency who is not their own or who refuses to be used by them to secure ethnic exclusion of fellow Kenyans. This system has to be dismantled so that Kenya may be for all Kenyans. Raila needs to join Ruto and assist him dismantle this oppressive system.

Ahmed Hashi : Experience is not the qualification Kenya needs in 2027. The country needs a young, progressive leader with the courage to challenge the status quo. Edwin Sifuna is the only person I see capable of taking on President Ruto. He should form his own political party, work with other opposition leaders, and campaign on a simple five-point agenda that speaks to ordinary Kenyans. Kenya needs generational change, fresh ideas and leaders focused on progress, not a return to the old political order #CitizenDayBreak

Tuliwaambia Edwin W. Sifuna is a stupid Bukusu boy who shouts the most, with no content coming from his medulla oblongata to his mouth, mkasema we are hating. Some of us have worked with him in ODM. Sifuna is stupid, not smart; he is a heckler, not a debater and a joyrider. Raila alificha wajinga wengi. He is opposing Affordable Housing and wants the cement used to construct a mortuary. Why should a morgue be built yet Busia has 14 morgues? Sifuna does not know that in Nairobi, people live in apartments with their animals and pets. In China, chicken is reared on the 40th floor.

H.E Edwin Sifuna's CONSISTENCY is unmatched! It takes an extremely principled human being to be this steady and truthful no matter the times, situations or even conditions. Right from when Baba Raila Odinga was alive Sifuna was speaking the same language he's speaking even when we lost our hero and legend. This was the true position of the ODM Party. Baba sat there and listened to Sifuna speak and whenever he stood up, he affirmed that, that was the position of the party and as communicated by the spokesperson of the party! Nothing can change this. Kenyans returned the favour to Omwami for his constituency!

Those claiming Edwin Sifuna lacks the experience to lead Kenya may not be questioning his ability at all; many are reacting to the uncomfortable reality that his rise has disrupted their political calculations and exposed the declining relevance of the old political order. Sifuna carries God’s anointing and the gift of wisdom. He has consistently sought God’s guidance, and his leadership reflects courage, clarity and conviction. Experience should never be measured merely by the number of years someone has occupied public office, especially when those years have produced little for the people. Leading Kenya is not complicated: respect the rule of law, remain faithful to the Constitution, obey the Public Finance Management Act, protect public resources and value every human life. These are the principles that define the leadership Sifuna represents. Those insisting that he is “not experienced enough” can already see that their time on the political stage is ending. Sifuna ameharibu hesabu zao za kuendelea kuwadanganya Wakenya kila mara. He represents a new generation that is informed, fearless and no longer willing to inherit the failures of the past.
