In a heartfelt statement, Sifuna described Raila as his "boss, mentor, friend, and leader," assuring him that he still has a place in Kenyan politics.
"My boss, mentor, friend, and leader, Raila Odinga, you still have a home. Come back; we still love you," Sifuna said.
Raila Odinga had expressed interest in becoming the next AUC chairperson, a position that would have taken him away from active Kenyan politics.
His campaign for the seat was seen as a chance to elevate Kenya’s influence in African leadership.
However, with the elections concluded, attention is now shifting to what Raila will do next.
Many of Raila’s supporters still believe he has a significant role to play in local politics.
ODM, the party he leads, has remained a strong force in Kenyan politics.
Sifuna’s words reflect the feelings of many ODM supporters who do not want to see Raila exit the political stage just yet.
Raila Odinga has been a key political figure in Kenya for decades.
His influence in the opposition and his efforts in pushing for democratic reforms have made him a household name.
If he decides to return to active politics, he could play a major role in shaping the 2027 elections.
The biggest question is whether Raila will make another attempt at the presidency or focus on mentoring new leaders within ODM.
His recent engagements with leaders like Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugene Wamalwa, and Martha Karua suggest that discussions about the future of opposition politics are ongoing.
Sifuna’s statement is likely to spark discussions within ODM and the larger opposition movement.
Some leaders may want Raila to remain actively involved, while others may push for a transition to new leadership.
For now, Kenyans will be waiting for Raila’s response.
Will he take Sifuna’s call and return to the political battlefield, or will he take a back seat and focus on other responsibilities?
