He stated that he continues to recognise himself as a loyal member of ODM and the legitimately elected Secretary General.
The senator emphasised that his leadership position was earned through a lawful and democratic process, and he remains focused on serving the party and its supporters.
Sifuna acknowledged that he is currently going through a challenging political period but expressed confidence that such moments are part of leadership.
He asked his supporters to keep him in their prayers and offer him goodwill as he navigates the unfolding events.
According to him, the support and encouragement of party members and Kenyans who believe in his leadership give him strength to continue serving.
In his message, Sifuna also reminded ODM supporters about the importance of safeguarding democratic freedoms.
He referenced the teachings and political philosophy of Raila Odinga, whom he described as a leader who has consistently fought for democracy, human rights, and fairness in governance.
Sifuna said these values form the foundation of ODM and should never be compromised, regardless of political disagreements or challenges.
The senator warned that political freedoms can easily be weakened if leaders and citizens fail to remain alert.
He urged party members to stay vigilant and continue defending their rights, including the right to free expression, fair political participation, and equal representation.
According to Sifuna, protecting these freedoms is essential not only for ODM supporters but also for the strength of Kenya’s democracy.
Sifuna further noted that political struggles are not new within strong democratic movements.
He said ODM has faced various challenges throughout its history but has continued to grow because of its commitment to democratic ideals and the resilience of its supporters.
He expressed confidence that the party will overcome the current situation through unity and respect for its guiding principles.
The Nairobi senator also called for calm among his supporters, urging them to avoid actions that could create unnecessary conflict.
He stressed that political differences should be handled through dialogue, respect for the law, and commitment to the party’s constitution.
Sifuna said unity within ODM remains important, especially at a time when many Kenyans are looking to political leaders for solutions to economic and social challenges.
He also highlighted the need for leaders to remain focused on addressing issues affecting ordinary citizens.
Sifuna pointed out that many Kenyans are facing hardships related to the cost of living, unemployment, and access to essential services.
He said political leaders must prioritise these concerns instead of being distracted by internal disputes.
