Millie Odhiambo, a member of parliament from Suba North, expressed satisfaction after her warning to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) against pushing out Senator Edwin Sifuna appeared to be vindicated. Odhiambo spoke during an interview with a local media station on September 15, 2026, indicating that her concerns about internal party dynamics had been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Babu Owino, a prominent political figure, denied any rift with Sifuna and pledged continued support for his presidential bid. Owino stated he was reducing his involvement in the Linda Mwananchi movement to focus on his campaign for governor. He also affirmed his full backing for Sifuna’s candidacy in the 2027 presidential election.
Owino emphasized his commitment to mobilizing Nairobi’s 2.5 million voters, highlighting the city’s significance in the political landscape. His statements come amid growing tensions within the ODM, as factions vie for influence ahead of key elections.
The situation underscores the shifting alliances and internal pressures within Nairobi’s political circles, as candidates navigate both party loyalty and personal ambitions.
