Sifuna’s Removal As ODM SG Stopped By Tribunal
The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has temporarily halted removal of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as ODM secretary general.
The ruling was made after Sifuna challenged the party’s Wednesday decision.
“That pending the hearing and determination of this instant application, inter partes, this Honourable Tribunal hereby issues orders staying the implementation of the resolution made by the National Executive Committee of the Orange Democratic Movement Party on 11th February, 2026 to remove Edwin Sifuna as the secretary general of the party,” PPDT acting chairperson Gad Gathu ruled.
It certified Sifuna’s application as urgent, ordering that the complaint and notice of motion be served on the respondents immediately.
The ODM and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties were given seven days to respond, with a further three days allowed for Sifuna to file any supplementary reply.
The matter is set for mention on February 26 to verify compliance and provide further directions.
Crucially, the tribunal issued interim orders staying the implementation of the ODM resolution and restraining the respondents from publishing it in the Kenya Gazette.
