ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna reiterated that he is still the ODM Secretary General even though President Ruto held the ODM founders' meeting as he had threatened in April.
Sifuna said this during an engagement with widows in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency, Kisii County on November 21, 2025.
While addressing the widows at the event, Sifuna claimed that he had survived the threats by the Head of State.
The ODM founders' dinner was hosted by President William Ruto on November 16, 2025, in Mombasa during the ODM @20 celebrations.
During the burial ceremony of the late Raila Odinga's bodyguard in Siaya on April 12, 2025, President Ruto warned Sifuna that he needed to tread carefully or else he would call for a founders' meeting to discipline the Nairobi Senator.
The Senator has constantly seemed to be opposing President William Ruto. His stance in a number of instances seemed to conflict with the position of ODM in the broad-based government.
As Secretary General, Sifuna is mandated to speak on behalf of ODM by the party constitution. On 27th October 2025, Sifuna read the ODM press statement clarifying the position of the ODM party in the broad-based government.
He stated that the Orange Democratic party will remain in the broad based government until 2027.
The Nairobi Senator was part of the inter-party working group that drafted the 10-point agenda of the Memorandum of Understanding between ODM and UDA.
