“Sifuna has shown that he has the courage to speak for Kenyans and defend his party,” one Bungoma leader reportedly said during the gatherings.
The endorsement comes at a time when discussions about future leadership within ODM have intensified following the death of longtime party leader Raila Odinga.

Several party figures have recently begun floating the names of younger leaders who could shape the party’s future direction.
Supporters argue that Sifuna’s communication skills set him apart from many politicians. Known for his sharp responses in interviews and parliamentary debates, the Nairobi Senator has built a reputation as one of the most vocal opposition figures in the country.
His supporters also point to his role as ODM Secretary General, saying he has played a key part in strengthening party structures and maintaining unity among members.
At the same time, Bungoma leaders dismissed calls from some politicians urging the Western region to rally behind President William Ruto in upcoming elections.

Instead, they argued that the region should begin investing in its own national leadership figures who can compete at the highest level.
According to them, backing homegrown leaders could help the region gain stronger influence in Kenya’s national politics.
In recent years, Sifuna’s profile has continued to rise, particularly among younger voters who follow his frequent appearances on television and social media.

His direct communication style and willingness to challenge government policies have earned him both praise and criticism.
However, political analysts caution that a presidential run would require much more than popularity within party ranks.
