The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has issued orders blocking the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) from removing Edwin Watenya Sifuna from his position as Secretary General, pending the hearing and determination of his case.

In orders delivered on Thursday, February 12, 2026, Hon Gad Gathu, Acting Chairperson of the PPDT, issued the orders after certifying Sifuna's application as urgent and granted temporary relief halting the implementation of the party's decision.
