Edwin Watenya Sifuna is the Senator for Nairobi County, elected in 2022, and currently serves as the Deputy Minority Whip in the Senate. A sharp legal mind and one of the most visible voices in Kenya’s opposition politics, Sifuna has built a reputation as a principled, articulate defender of constitutionalism, civil liberties, and devolution. His election to the Senate marked a significant generational shift in Nairobi politics, placing a nationally prominent party strategist directly into elective office. Beyond Parliament, Sifuna is the Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), a position he has held since 2018, making him one of the most powerful party administrators in the country. In this role, he is central to ODM’s strategy, discipline, and national coordination, working closely with party leader Oburu Odinga. His dual influence—as both a legislator and party executive—has positioned him as a key figure in shaping opposition politics and policy debates in Kenya.
