Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna/fileNairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has firmly dismissed claims that the Linda Mwananchi faction is planning to exit Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), declaring that the group will remain in the party and continue fighting for its direction from within. ODM is a taxpayer party,” Sifuna declared. The senator said the Linda Mwananchi team remains loyal to the ideals championed by ODM and its leader, Raila Odinga, stressing that internal criticism should not be interpreted as rebellion. His remarks come amid heightened political tension within ODM and growing speculation that divisions within the party could trigger a split. Similar sentiments have also been expressed by James Orengo, who recently insisted that the Linda Mwananchi faction remains part of ODM despite the ongoing disagreements.
