Resign as Nairobi Senator - Kaluma Tells Sifuna

Sifuna is under pressure to follow in the footsteps of the late Raila, the only leader who resigned as an MP after changing parties.

Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has dared Edwin Sifuna to resign as Nairobi Senator.

In a statement issued on Monday, October 5, Kaluma claimed that the law demands that Sifuna resign after he ditched ODM, the party he used to become a senator, for the Equality Party (TEP).

He argued that if Sifuna was honest about his adherence to constitutionalism and the rule of law, then he should seek a fresh mandate under his new party.

"By law, you’re deemed to have resigned as an ODM member and Senator.

"You say you’re running to ensure constitutionalism and the rule of law. Do now vacate your office as ODM Senator and seek re-election in TEP," Kaluma said.

Kaluma echoed Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, who opined that Sifuna should follow the path taken by former Prime Minister, the late Raila Odinga.
