Junet Mohamed, the ODM Director of Elections, accuses party members of undermining the party by associating with other political factions, specifically targeting Edwin Sifuna and others.
In a recent rally in Mombasa, Junet Mohamed, who serves as the Director of Elections for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), accused a faction within the party, known as "Linda Mwananchi," of colluding with DCP Leader Rigathi Gachagua. Junet made these claims during a "Linda Ground" event, highlighting tensions within the party and arguing that this internal group is working to destabilize ODM from within. He specifically named Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and called for unity among supporters of ODM, underscoring the need to remain loyal amidst external alliances.
During his speech, Junet boldly challenged Siaya Senator James Orengo and MP Babu Owino, urging them to leave the ODM if they felt unhappy with the party's current trajectory. His comments suggest a growing rift among party leaders and suggest that differences in strategy could affect the party's cohesion as the political landscape in Kenya evolves. Junet's insistence on loyalty reflects a crucial moment for ODM, which is grappling with internal and external pressures that could influence its future.
The allegations of collaboration with opposing political factions, including Jubilee and Wiper, indicate a broader struggle within Kenyan politics, where alliances often shift. Junet's remarks aim to galvanize support for ODM while simultaneously challenging dissenting voices within the party, a strategy that could either reinforce party unity or deepen divides as the country moves towards upcoming elections and potential shifts in governance.
