Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has received a significant reprieve after the High Court temporarily halted his removal as Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
The court issued an injunction, effectively suspending the National Executive Committee’s (NEC) decision to oust him, pending a full hearing of the matter.
Sifuna welcomed the ruling, describing it as a win for due process and adherence to the ODM constitution. The Senator argued that his removal lacked proper legal procedures and violated his rights within the party structure.
Lawyers representing Sifuna highlighted that the NEC failed to give him adequate opportunity to respond to allegations and that the decision did not follow the correct internal mechanisms outlined in the party’s governing documents.
The High Court order means that Sifuna retains his official status as Secretary General while the case progresses, preventing the ODM leadership from implementing the NEC’s earlier resolution.

Party insiders have indicated that the decision has reignited internal discussions, with both supporters and critics closely watching developments.
Sifuna has expressed gratitude to his legal team and supporters, promising to continue his work within the party while the judiciary determines the legality of his ouster.
A full hearing is scheduled in the coming weeks to resolve the matter definitively.
