Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino held a high-level meeting alongside other Linda Mwananchi leaders to discuss the country’s political direction.
In a statement, Orengo said the meeting aimed to chart a path forward amid growing concerns over the government’s response to opposition activities, particularly following the attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi.
He noted that the leaders remain firm despite what they described as attempts at intimidation, adding that the dissenting faction within ODM is determined to continue advocating for the interests of Kenyans.

Orengo confirmed that the Linda Mwananchi team will proceed with its planned rally in Nakuru, expressing confidence in continued public support.
Leaders present at the meeting included Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, Suba South MP Caroli Omondi, Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi.
The group had earlier condemned the attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, who was reportedly assaulted by goons in Kisumu in broad daylight, and called for swift action against those responsible.
Sifuna urged authorities to carry out thorough investigations and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, while also reaffirming plans by the Linda Mwananchi faction to hold rallies across Luo Nyanza, including in Kisumu and Homa Bay.
Separately, Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o condemned the incident and called on the national government to guarantee the safety of all Kenyans, including leaders critical of the current administration.
