Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has joined the party’s top leadership in Mombasa ahead of the mega celebrations to mark its 20th anniversary.

In a statement on his X page this Saturday, September 13, 2025, Sifuna was accompanied by the party’s national chair, Gladys Wanga and Deputy Leader and Mombasa governor, Abdulswamad Nassir

Sifuna’s presence in Mombasa comes amid his adversarial stance toward the party on different fronts.

The Nairobi Senator has been at loggerheads with a section of the party officials for his public criticism of President William Ruto, the ODM’s broad-based partners.

Meanwhile, he has also been among the politicians leading the public support for an emerging crop of Youthful leaders under the ‘Kenya Moja’ faction.

The Nairobi senator has, however, continued to carry his party functions despite mounting calls for his resignation from a section of party officials clamouring for his resignation.

Speaking at a past event, he tipped the upcoming celebration to achieve a milestone that would not only honour the party’s struggles and victories but also reaffirm its pledge to remain a defender of justice and democracy in Kenya.

“The celebrations will run from October 10th to 12th, 2025, in the historic city of Mombasa. This milestone is not only a commemoration of ODM’s journey but also a reflection on the struggles, victories, and lessons that continue to shape our vision for a just, united, and prosperous Kenya,” Sifuna stated.

The Raila Odinga-led party, in a statement on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, said it will be celebrating two decades of what it calls “resilience, sacrifice, and commitment to democracy.

“The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) marks two decades of resilience, sacrifice, and unyielding commitment to democracy, justice, and the people of Kenya. As the Party that has stood at the forefront of defending constitutionalism and people’s rights, we take pride in inviting our members, supporters, and all Kenyans to our 20th anniversary celebrations,” the statement read in part.

The three-day event festival will kick off on October 10 ands run through to October 12 in Mombasa.
