Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna is fighting back legally and politically against the National Executive Committee (NEC)'s decision to strip him of his position. The party accuses him of breaching discipline, including criticizing the ODM-UDA agreement and joining activities without permission. He has until April 8 to respond in writing and April 10 to appear before a panel.
ODM party chairperson Gladys Wanga has dismissed plans by the Linda Mwananchi faction for a parallel National Delegates Conference, terming it a plot to mislead members. She insisted that only the National Executive Committee has authority to convene such a meeting. Her remarks followed Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna's announcement that he would not attend the official NDC.
