Court Hands Oburu’s Team Blow With Ruling On Sifuna Ouster As ODM SG
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna can breathe a sigh of relief after the High Court overturned his expulsion as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Secretary General.
The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal issued a verdict on Thursday, February 12, ordering the immediate suspension of Sifuna’s ouster pending the hearing and determination of the dispute.
The court also scheduled the hearing of a petition filed against the ODM party and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) for February 26, this year.
The court’s ruling came hours after the Nairobi MP filed a case challenging the ODM’s National Executive Committee’s (NEC) decision to remove him from his party position yesterday.
While speaking to the press earlier today, the firebrand legislator launched a counterattack against the party’s leadership, calling the decision to dismiss him illegal and vowing to challenge it in court.

“I have taken note of the announcement made by a section of the ODM National Executive Committee in Mombasa yesterday purporting to remove me from the position of secretary general of ODM,” he stated.

“Let me state without fear of contradiction that this action is unlawful, unprocedural and a blatant violation of the ODM constitution as well as the principles of natural justice,” Sifuna affirmed.
He further stated that the dismissal was a witch hunt for not supporting President Ruto’s leadership, and that nothing legally justified his removal from the position he had held for almost nine years.
“My only crime is that I have refused and opposed any plans and schemes within the party to support President William Ruto’s re-election because I have held the firm position that this country cannot afford another five years of divisive misadventures,” the legislator noted.
