Main Story:
ODM Secretary-General and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has issued a stern warning to his party: any attempt to align with President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 general election will trigger his immediate resignation.
Speaking during a recent media interview, Sifuna made it clear that working with the Kenya Kwanza administration is out of the question for him. “I will not be part of a party that endorses Ruto. If that happens, I will quit,” he stated firmly.
His comments come amid growing speculation that some ODM leaders may be warming up to Ruto’s government especially following a series of high-profile meetings between opposition figures and State House.
Sifuna, a key figure in Raila Odinga’s inner circle, sees this as a dangerous shift that goes against the values ODM has championed for years. He warned that betraying the opposition’s cause would be a slap in the face of loyal supporters.
Hinting at political realignment, Sifuna revealed he’s open to building a new coalition with like-minded leaders who remain committed to integrity and accountability in governance. While he didn’t name names, the signal was clear a new wave of opposition politics could be brewing ahead of 2027.
His tough stance has sparked conversations across the political spectrum, with some praising his principled position and others calling it premature.
