ODM party leader Raila Odinga has affirmed that Edwin Sifuna speaks on behalf of the ODM party, as he serves as the Secretary-General of the Orange movement.
Odinga reiterated this while attending the burial of the slain Kasipul Member of Parliament, Charles Ongondo Were, in Oyugis, Homa Bay County.

A section of ODM members, including Oburu Odinga and Peter Kaluma, had rebuked Sifuna for stating that the party plans to dethrone President William Ruto in 2027, despite ODM’s presence in government through cabinet ministers such as Opiyo Wandayi, Hassan Joho, Wycliffe Oparanya, and John Mbad
