By Cynthia Lodite, March 3, 2026Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino have visited the late MP Johana Ng’eno to pay tribute moments after skipping the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Parliamentary Group meeting.
In a post on Sifuna’s official X account on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the embattled ODM senator confirmed his attendance at the late Johana Ng’eno’s Karen home alongside Babu Owino.
While paying his tribute, Sifuna affirmed his continued prayers for the family following the tragic loss of the Emurua Dikir legislator, who perished in a helicopter crash.

ODM PG meeting
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) convened its Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting, bringing together Members of Parliament and Senators to deliberate on the party’s recent work and current political stance.
At the time, the legislators endorsed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s removal from his role as the secretary general despite the decision made by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT).
Following a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting convened by the party officials on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Suna East MP Junet Mohamed shared the resolutions, indicating that the members endorsed the National Executive Committee’s decision to suspend Sifuna as the party’s secretary general.
According to Junet, the legislators present at the meeting held within the Parliament Buildings endorsed the National Executive Committee’s past decision to oust Sifuna as the ODM Secretary General.
“PG endorsed the decision by the National Executive Committee to suspend Hon. Edwin Sifuna as Secretary General,” Junet’s statement read in part.
