Tensions are once again rising around the political rivalry involving Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, after Kaluma delivered another sharp message questioning Sifuna’s relationship with the political legacy of the late Raila Odinga. Read Full Article Here
Kaluma, in remarks directed at Sifuna, accused the Nairobi senator of turning against Raila and challenged him over clothing associated with past criticism of the former opposition leader.
He also referred to Sifuna as a traitor and compared his actions to Judas, making the exchange particularly heated.
The remarks come amid growing political differences surrounding Sifuna and the Linda Mwananchi movement. Sifuna has increasingly positioned himself as a presidential candidate within the movement, while Kaluma has remained among the leaders openly critical of his political direction.
Kaluma’s latest comments also revive disagreements that have followed Sifuna since his break with sections of the Orange Democratic Movement.
The Nairobi senator has maintained his political course even as questions about alliances and the future of the opposition continue to dominate public debate.
Recent reporting has shown that tensions involving Sifuna and other Linda Mwananchi leaders have become a major feature of Kenya’s emerging 2027 political contest.
Kaluma has previously made strong statements concerning Sifuna and the movement, including comments surrounding political activities in Homa Bay. His earlier remarks prompted scrutiny from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission.
Sifuna has not, in the material available here, issued a direct response to this latest statement from Kaluma.
The latest exchange adds another layer to an increasingly public political confrontation, with supporters on both sides watching closely for what could come next.
