Lamu County, February 12, 2026 – National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed has dismissed remarks suggesting that the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) is defunct, following the recent controversial move to oust Edwin Sifuna as the party’s Secretary General.
Speaking during the ODM Coastal tour in Lamu County on Thursday, Junet highlighted the party’s long-standing support base and cautioned against spreading unfounded rumors about its decline.
“Wale watu ambao waneneza uvumi kila saa ati chama imekufa hiyo wamesema ya kutosha,” Junet said, urging critics to stop circulating claims that the party is dead.
The Suna East Member of Parliament further asserted that ODM is far from finished, stating that the party has only just begun its momentum. He called on party supporters to remain steadfast and continue building on the party’s legacy.
Junet’s comments come in the wake of internal debates over Sifuna’s position, which had sparked speculation about ODM’s stability. However, the Minority Leader’s remarks reinforce the party’s commitment to unity and growth as it engages with constituents along the coast.
