Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna declared his opposition to any Orange Democratic Movement endorsement of President William Ruto during the 2027 elections. The party secretary general made these remarks while visiting Trans Nzoia County on Sunday. Sifuna stated he would fulfill his duties by reading party resolutions, even those critical of him, but refuses to announce support for Ruto. He invited potential replacements to step forward if ODM pursues this path. The senator specifically mentioned Nyando MP Jared Okelo as someone others consider more suitable for the position.
Sifuna referenced party leader Raila Odinga's recent statements about democratic discourse within ODM ranks. He emphasized his right to express personal views despite holding the Secretary General position. The senator has consistently opposed potential cooperation between ODM and Ruto's UDA party. He previously threatened resignation if ODM formally endorses the president for reelection. Raila Odinga has publicly supported Sifuna amid growing internal party criticism.
