Popular media personality Jalang’o has sparked reactions on social media after mocking Wycliffe Sifuna regarding his political moves within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). According to Jalang’o, Sifuna once believed that he was the face of ODM, expecting that everyone else would follow him. However, Jalang’o claims that the party acted decisively to remove Sifuna’s influence, and no members left the party to follow him.
Jalang’o further criticized Sifuna for reportedly taking the matter to court in an attempt to rejoin ODM, questioning why Sifuna, if he truly had strong support, did not form his own party with loyal followers. He mocked the former expectations of a “tsunami” effect, suggesting that Sifuna overestimated his influence and is now seeking a return after failing to rally supporters independently.
This exchange highlights ongoing tensions within Kenyan politics, especially within major parties like ODM. It also underscores the role of public figures and media personalities in shaping political narratives, often mixing commentary with humor and satire to engage the public.
