Sifuna, Osotsi No Show as ODM Leader Oburu Chairs NEC Meeting, As SG Set To Release Outcome, Details

According to available sources of news, the internal landscape of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) continues to shift.

This comes as ODM Party Leader Dr. Oburu Odinga presides over a high-stakes National Executive Council (NEC) working session.

This latest meeting aims to steady the ship as the party prepares for its upcoming National Delegates Conference (NDC) later this month.

However, the shadow of internal friction loomed large once again, with the conspicuous absence of suspended Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and Senator Godfrey Osotsi.

According to Governor Gladys Wanga, the session was convened to review the party’s strategic direction.

While the "Linda Mwananchi" faction members were nowhere to be seen at this particular NEC table, the party leadership is pushing forward with its administrative calendar.

The Party Secretariat is now expected to release the formal notice and agenda for the NDC by Friday.

The meeting focused on several key organizational pillars NDC Preparation: Finalizing the roadmap for the national conference.

Inclusive governance by reaffirming a commitment to participatory leadership and broader consultation.

Secretariat updates by peparing to go public with the meeting’s formal outcomes.

The absence of Sifuna and Osotsi follows a turbulent week where the Parliamentary Group (PG) officially endorsed the NEC's decision to suspend Sifuna and install Oburu Odinga as the definitive Party Leader.

Despite claims from top leaders like Stewart Madzayo that invitations were extended to all faction members, the rift remains a visible challenge for the party’s unity.

As the Secretariat prepares to release the final details of this session, the focus remains on whether ODM can bridge these internal divides before the delegates descend for the NDC.
