Kenya's main opposition party, ODM, is facing internal strife after Secretary General Edwin Sifuna publicly declared the party's cooperation deal with President Ruto's UDA party 'dead.' Sifuna's outspoken stance, including calls to prioritize removing Ruto from office in 2027, has triggered backlash from party leaders and demands for his resignation. The rift exposes deep divisions within ODM, with some members defending Sifuna while others accuse him of undermining party unity and leadership. Sifuna has admitted to confusion within the party and apologized to members, but insists he will not resign unless ODM formally backs Ruto. The turmoil raises questions about ODM's direction, leadership, and its ability to mount a united challenge in the next general election.
