He suggested that leaders must remain focused on serving the public and avoid being drawn into internal party conflicts that could affect their leadership roles.
Salasya stated that if Babu’s loyalty is truly to the people he represents, he should remain politically watchful when working closely with Sifuna.
Although he did not explain in detail why he made the statement, his remarks appeared to reflect growing tensions within ODM, where differences among leaders have been openly discussed in recent weeks.
The warning comes just days before Babu and Sifuna are expected to appear together at a political rally in Kitengela scheduled for Sunday, February 15, 2026.
The planned rally has already drawn public interest, with political observers watching closely to see how the two leaders will present themselves amid the ongoing disagreements within their party.
ODM has recently experienced internal disputes involving leadership roles, party direction, and political strategy ahead of the 2027 General Election.
These divisions have sparked debates among supporters and leaders about the party’s unity and future strength.
Salasya’s remarks appear to add another layer to the already heated political environment.
Political analysts say that public warnings between leaders from the same political side are unusual and often signal deeper tensions behind the scenes.
Some observers believe Salasya may be urging caution due to shifting political alliances, while others interpret the statement as an attempt to influence how leaders interact during the current party disagreements.
Despite the warning, both Babu and Sifuna remain influential figures within ODM, especially among young supporters and urban voters.
Their planned joint rally in Kitengela is expected to attract a large crowd, as both leaders are known for their strong public engagement and outspoken political style.
Supporters of Babu have largely defended him, describing him as an independent thinker who makes decisions based on what he believes is right for his constituents.
On the other hand, Sifuna continues to maintain a strong presence within party leadership and remains vocal on matters affecting ODM’s direction.
Salasya, who has built a reputation for speaking openly on political matters, has often shared his opinions on national leadership and party politics.
His latest remarks have sparked discussions online, with some supporters agreeing with his call for caution while others questioning the motive behind the statement.
