Senator Joe Nyutu alleges that President Ruto orchestrated Edwin Sifuna’s removal from ODM leadership to silence opposition dissent.

The political earthquake rocking the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has triggered fresh accusations of state interference. Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu has sensationally claimed that the removal of Edwin Sifuna as ODM Secretary General was not an internal cleanup, but a calculated hit ordered by President William Ruto.
The ouster of Sifuna, a vocal critic of the Kenya Kwanza administration, has exposed the deepening fractures within the opposition party. While ODM officials cite "undermining the party" as the official reason, Nyutu argues that the invisible hand of the State House is pulling the strings. According to the Senator, Sifuna’s removal is part of a broader strategy to silence dissent and neuter the opposition by installing compliant figures in key leadership roles.
Nyutu’s allegations point to the controversial "broad-based government" deal between Raila Odinga and President Ruto as the trojan horse destroying the opposition. He suggests that Sifuna became a casualty because he refused to play ball with the new cooperative arrangement.
The chaos in ODM is palpable. With factions aligning either with the "cooperation" agenda or the "resistance" wing, the party is facing an existential crisis. Sifuna’s removal is a warning shot to other rebels like Babu Owino.
As the dust settles, the question remains: Is ODM cleaning its house, or is the house being renovated by its landlord in State House? For Joe Nyutu, the answer is obvious, and the implications for Kenya’s democracy are dire.
