City lawyer Ndegwa Njiru has called on Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna to consider joining the United Opposition as pressure mounts within his party.
Njiru made the remarks ahead of the planned National Delegates Conference of the Orange Democratic Movement, where Sifuna’s position as Secretary General is expected to come under review. The meeting is set to take place amid rising internal tensions within the party.
He suggested that Sifuna could face removal during the conference and advised him to make an early political decision. According to Njiru, shifting allegiance now would place the senator in a stronger position within the opposition ranks.
The comments also referenced claims that the upcoming party meeting is being influenced by external political forces.
Njiru argued that the situation reflects broader changes in the country’s political landscape, where alignments continue to shift ahead of future elections.
Sifuna, who has been a key figure in ODM’s leadership, has not publicly responded to the remarks. His silence has left room for speculation on whether he will defend his position or consider alternative political paths.
The United Opposition, which has been working to consolidate leaders from different parties, is expected to welcome new members as it seeks to strengthen its influence nationally. Njiru’s remarks signal ongoing efforts to attract prominent figures from rival camps.
As the conference approaches, attention remains on how ODM will handle internal leadership matters and whether the outcome will reshape alliances. The developments could have wider implications for opposition politics and party unity in the months ahead.
