Today, the Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is holding his long‑anticipated political rally in Kitengela, Kajiado County, under the Linda Mwananchi banner.
The event is drawing supporters from around the region as a show of grassroots backing following his contentious removal from the role of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General earlier this week.
The rally is part of a broader political moment in ODM, with rival factions staging parallel gatherings today – including a separate Linda Ground rally led by Oburu Odinga in Mombasa’s Tononoka Grounds – highlighting deep divisions within the party.
Sifuna’s meeting aims to reinforce his political relevance and counter pressure from party leaders pushing a different strategic direction, especially around alliances with the broad‑based government. His supporters say the rally is meant to rally ordinary members and push back against moves they view as sidelining the party’s core identity.
The outcome of today’s rally, in attendance and messaging, is expected to influence internal debates within ODM as the party navigates leadership disputes and positions itself ahead of the 2027 general elections.
