Political tensions rise as James Orengo faces calls to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race. DCP Cleophas Malala has publicly urged Orengo to step aside in favor of Edwin Sifuna, citing loyalty to Raila Odinga. The move comes amid growing political maneuvering within the ODM party. Meanwhile, Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has criticized the police for failing to protect Orengo during an attack on his convoy in Migori. The incident has raised concerns about security in political campaigns. Orengo remains a key figure in the race, but the pressure to make way for Sifuna is intensifying. The situation highlights the shifting dynamics within Kenya’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
