Registrar of Political Parties okays Sifuna's removal as ODM secretary general

The Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) in Kenya has officially approved the removal of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). The decision was based on the submission of documents by the ODM's National Executive Council (NEC), which claimed compliance with the party's constitution and the Political Parties Act. Sifuna's legal team, represented by Senior Counsel Isaac Okero, argued that the removal process was procedurally irregular and violated the Political Parties Act, stating they would pursue legal remedies. The removal followed a disciplinary process initiated by the NEC in February 2026, where Sifuna was accused of contradicting the party's position. The ORPP confirmed the update to the party records, marking the completion of the removal process.

Sifuna loses ODM SG battle as Registrar of Political Parties approves ouster

The Registrar of Political Parties has approved the removal of Sifuna from their position as Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). This decision follows an internal conflict within the party, likely related to leadership disputes or governance issues. The approval indicates that formal procedures were followed according to Kenya's electoral laws and regulations governing political parties. The outcome could impact the ODM's internal dynamics and future political strategies.

Bias read (Center): The article reports a procedural decision by the Registrar of Political Parties without apparent ideological framing. It focuses on the administrative action rather than taking a stance on the merits of the dispute or the individuals involved.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both sides of the dispute: the ORPP's approval of the removal based on procedural compliance and Sifuna's legal challenge citing procedural irregularities. There is no overt ideological slant toward either side, and the reporting remains focused on the legal and procedural facts
