He stated that the gathering did not alter the party’s official leadership structure or his mandate.
He made the remarks in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency while engaging widows during a community forum.
Sifuna told the audience that he had endured political threats and remained firmly in charge of ODM’s administrative responsibilities.
The Nairobi Senator recalled President Ruto’s earlier warning issued in April during the burial of Raila Odinga’s bodyguard in Siaya.
According to Sifuna, the President had vowed to summon the original party founders to discipline him, but the move had no practical effect.
The dinner held on November 16 as part of the ODM@20 celebrations was cited by Sifuna as a political spectacle rather than a decision-making platform.
He explained that only constitutionally recognized organs can make changes to the party’s leadership.
Sifuna emphasized that his role is protected by the ODM constitution, which mandates him to articulate official party positions.
He highlighted that on October 27 he delivered the party’s formal statement confirming ODM’s continued participation in the broad-based government until 2027.
He reminded supporters that he was part of the inter-party team that crafted the 10-point memorandum guiding cooperation between ODM and UDA.
Sifuna noted that his involvement in those talks demonstrated his central place within the party’s national strategy.
During the event, he also accused the government of targeting vocal opposition leaders to silence criticism. He maintained that political intimidation would not influence his work or weaken party operations.
As the celebrations for ODM’s 20th anniversary continue, Sifuna insisted that the party remains unified under its recognized officeholders.
He assured members that ODM decisions will continue to be driven by internal processes rather than external interference.
