ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has fired a warning to some members of the Orange Democratic Party who are thinking of leaving the party.
The SG affirmed that he is in ODM to stay and those who feel tired of fighting for Kenyans can leave the party.
Speaking on Sunday during a Church Service, Sifuna stated that some members have forgotten what the party stands for.
“There are people in the ODM party who have forgotten where the party came from and what it stands for. Others are telling me that they are now tired of speaking for Kenyans, they are saying they were not born to stay in the opposition. They are saying they are tired of fighting for the rights of Kenyans,” Sifuna stated.
“I want to tell them that I will continue standing for the truth if something is not going on well, It is bad and we shall speak it however it is. Those who feel like they are tired of fighting for Kenyans and standing for the truth should just leave ODM.”
Sifuna said that the journey to liberate a country is not an easy task and it may take a while to achieve.
“Some of you joined ODM the other day, two weeks before nomination and you are already tired," the ODM secretary general stated.
Earlier, Sifuna had stated that there is no working agreement between the ruling UDA and ODM ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“I can speak authoritatively, there is no agreement between ODM and UDA about 2027, and I've said on this show, and I will repeat it if you are unpopular, it doesn't matter how many leaders you bring around you, we will lose the election," Sifuna said.
“I am very clear in my mind, because the people are clear in their minds on what a government is supposed to do, and as long as you are not addressing those things, it doesn't matter. We lost an election with 26 parties,” Sifuna said.
The Orange party’s SG noted that while ODM and UDA are currently working together, they have clear instructions for their leader that ODM must retain its identity.
