Winnie has come out in support of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, defending his loyalty and commitment to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). In a public statement, she addressed claims that Sifuna is a “mamluki,” a term often used to suggest betrayal or opportunism in politics.
Winnie described Sifuna as a dedicated and passionate leader, emphasizing that in the years she has known him, he has consistently demonstrated loyalty to ODM. She urged Kenyans to recognize his contributions to the party and highlighted the importance of acknowledging politicians who work diligently for their political organizations.
Her comments come amid ongoing debates about party loyalty and political integrity, with some critics questioning the commitment of various leaders. By speaking out, Winnie reinforced the message that Sifuna’s record reflects steadfast dedication rather than opportunism.
The statement has drawn attention from political observers, who note that such endorsements play a role in shaping public perception and reinforcing trust within party ranks, particularly as Kenya gears up for the 2027 general elections.
