Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has suggested that those who genuinely believed in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) should be allowed to seek a new political home.
Addressing supporters at Poster Grounds in Bungoma County on Sunday, Sifuna said loyal ODM supporters should not feel compelled to remain in the party.
"Those who truly believed in ODM, give us the permission to look for another party," he said.
His remarks come as he continues to challenge his removal as ODM secretary general in court, setting the stage for what could become a fresh political battle within the party.
