But Sifuna made it clear—those who don’t align with their message should keep their distance.

“If you’re chanting ‘Tutam,’ just stay at home,” he said, in what sounded like both a warning and a dismissal to critics, particularly Ruto’s supporters in Eldoret.

At the same time, Sifuna defended the group’s earlier focus on ODM-friendly zones, saying it was a deliberate move. He explained that the strategy was meant to solidify their influence within the party, especially now that internal tensions are becoming harder to ignore.

The bigger picture? The battle for control within the is quietly intensifying. With taking a less active day-to-day role, new power centers are beginning to emerge—and not without friction.

Sifuna has positioned himself firmly within the Linda Mwananchi camp, a faction that has not shied away from criticizing sections of the party leadership. Their main concern: what they see as a growing closeness between some ODM figures and President Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election.
