ODM lawmakers defy court to sack Sifuna

ODM's parliamentary group just steamrolled a tribunal order by endorsing Edwin Sifuna's suspension as secretary general anyway.

PG meeting backs the ouster

• ODM lawmakers ratified Sifuna's removal on March 3, 2026.
• Junet Mohamed announced the PG's endorsement publicly.
• NEC's original suspension vote got full legislative backing.
• The meeting went down at Parliament Buildings.

Tribunal orders get openly defied

• Acting Chairperson Gad Gathu blocked the removal on February 26.
• ODM's lawyers actually consented to extending those stay orders.
• Kenya Gazette publication of the ouster remains legally barred.
• Sifuna technically keeps his title until the case is resolved.

March 12 showdown looms

• A full hearing is locked in for March 12, 2026, at 10 am.
• Both sides will present oral submissions that day.
• ODM had three days to file legal authority and transcripts.
• Sifuna got seven days to submit his formal response.
