Editor's Review

Jalang'o is among the five rebel ODM MPs who have been kicked out of the party for declaring allegiance with President Ruto.


ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has fired a warning shot at Lang'ata MP Phelix Odiwuor, alias Jalang'o, over his allegiance with President William Ruto. 

Sifuna who appeared at Radio 47 for an interview said the MP will not retain his seat in 2027 in the event his expansion from the ODM is stayed by the Court order. 

Sifuna said the ODM party members have agreed with the National Executive Council's decision to expel the five members saying he will convene a National Delegates Conference to ratify the decision to expel them.

"Kila mtu ndani ya ODM amekubaliana na sisi kwamba wanafaa kufurushwa. Iwapo watakimbia kule mahakamani waweze Kusaidiwa bora sisi kama party tumefuata sheria," Sifuna said.
