Cooperatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya has expressed fears that the Orange Democratic Movement could lose popularity in the Western region if Edwin Sifuna is expelled from the party.
Speaking in Butula Constituency, Oparanya, who previously served as ODM deputy party leader, said attempts to remove Sifuna as secretary-general have weakened the party’s grassroots stability and made it difficult for leaders to rally support for the president, especially in the Western region.
The Western region has long remained a political stronghold of the Orange party, with many leaders elected on the ODM ticket.
