ODM on fire as JUNET MOHAMED goes after Senator SIFUNA over his public apology to UHURU - “There are very few fools in Kenya”

Wednesday, December 31, 2025 - Suna East Member of Parliament, Junet Mohamed, has fired back at Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna following his public apology to former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

In a bold social media post, Junet declared himself the official spokesperson of what he termed the “washenzi” group within ODM, directly challenging Sifuna’s recent criticism of party leaders.

“I shall be the spokesperson of the ‘WASHENZI’ Group in the Mighty ODM party. Without fear and favor, so help me God,” he wrote, tagging prominent figures including Hassan Joho, Gladys Wanga, A.S Nassir and Arati Simba.

Junet’s remarks appeared to reference Sifuna’s comments at the burial of former Cabinet Minister Cyrus Jirongo in Kakamega County on December 30^th.

During the ceremony, Sifuna apologized to Uhuru, saying ODM leaders had forgotten the former President’s support for Raila Odinga’s past campaigns.

“I want to apologize to you, Uhuru Kenyatta, and ask for forgiveness on behalf of our Party for the insults you have been receiving,” Sifuna stated.

Junet, however, insisted that multiparty democracy thrives only when ODM remains in opposition, adding, “There are very few fools in Kenya.”

His response underscores widening rifts within the party over its relationship with Uhuru and the broader political realignments ahead of 2027.

The dispute comes amid escalating criticism of Uhuru by ODM officials.

On December 28^th, while addressing a rally in Homa Bay attended by President William Ruto, Governor Gladys Wanga accused Uhuru of using insiders to sow divisions within ODM, warning that the party will resist such maneuvers.

The exchanges highlight deepening internal conflict as ODM grapples with its future political direction after the demise of Raila Odinga.
