Wanga explained that the idea of a broad-based government emerged at a time when the country was facing serious political instability.
According to her, senior party leaders held consultations to find a way forward that would calm tensions and safeguard national unity.
She revealed that Sifuna, who was then serving as ODM’s Secretary-General, played a key role in drafting the framework that guided those discussions.
Wanga stated that he personally typed the 10-point agenda that later became central to negotiations.
She added that the drafting was done following instructions from Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o.
The 10-point agenda laid out proposals aimed at addressing governance concerns, promoting stability, and outlining areas of cooperation.
It later formed the basis of a memorandum of understanding between ODM and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), President Ruto’s party.
The agreement paved the way for the broad-based government arrangement.
Wanga questioned why Sifuna is now distancing himself from the same process he was actively involved in.
She told delegates that party leaders should stand by collective decisions instead of shifting positions depending on political pressure.
Her remarks come amid widening cracks within ODM, with some members supporting cooperation with the government while others insist the party should remain firmly in opposition.
