29.07.2026 ⇢ The day Sifuna and Osotsi were purged from Senate committees
⌨
The day's editorial focus shifted to ODM's removal of Senators Sifuna and Osotsi from powerful Senate committees, a story that broke in the afternoon and dominated evening coverage across Nairobi Leo, Daily Nation, and Citizen. This purge followed days of Sifuna's rising profile through his Linda Mwananchi movement and his overtures to Gachagua despite backing his impeachment.
Earlier, editors tracked CS Joho's suspension of Tata Chemicals Magadi mining operations and the defection of Nyandarua Governor Badilisha from UDA to Gachagua's DCP, alongside 24 MCAs.
By evening, a nationwide blackout hit multiple regions, but the political realignments—ODM fronting Oparanya for DP and the Sifuna purge—remained the dominant narrative, signaling internal party tensions ahead of 2027.
