Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has finally broken his silence hours after the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal dismissed a petition challenging his removal as Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

In a brief update shared on his official social media platforms, Sifuna refrained from directly addressing the tribunal’s decision, opting instead to shift focus to his political supporters.

The outspoken senator called on Kenyans—particularly those aligned with the “Linda Mwananchi” initiative—to turn up in large numbers for a rally scheduled to take place in Nairobi on Friday.

Sifuna indicated that the rally would serve as a platform to address pressing issues affecting ordinary citizens, signaling a move to rally grassroots support amid the ongoing wrangles within ODM.

His decision to avoid commenting on the tribunal ruling has sparked mixed reactions, with some observers interpreting it as a strategic political move.

Earlier on Thursday, the tribunal struck out the petition that sought to block his ouster from the influential party position, effectively handing a temporary reprieve to ODM’s internal restructuring process.

The case had drawn significant public attention, highlighting deep divisions within the party’s leadership.

Meanwhile, ODM is expected to convene its highly anticipated National Delegates Convention (NDC) in Nairobi, an event that is likely to shape the party’s future direction.

The meeting comes at a time when internal tensions appear to be escalating, setting the stage for a possible political showdown.

Political analysts argue that the coming days will be crucial in determining both Sifuna’s political trajectory and the stability of ODM as one of the country’s leading political outfits.

With Sifuna mobilizing his supporters and the party leadership preparing for a decisive convention, all eyes remain fixed on Nairobi as events unfold.
