New political movement gathers momentum after Kitengela rally
The divisions in the Orange Democratic Movement took yet another turn on Sunday, February 15, 2026, with the Oburu Odinga-led camp holding a rally in Tononoka and the rival faction led by Sifuna camping in Kitengela.
The rally saw a powerful movement, led by firebrand politicians opposed to Ruto’s second-term bid, take shape, backed by Kenyans in their thousands who attended the rally.
Police lobbed teargas cannisters into the crowd, disrupting the rally, but by then, the firebrand politicians had made their stand known.
One person was killed in the chaos, with the opposition, the civil society and the church faulting the state for not reigning in on rogue police officers and cracking down on political dissent with brutal force.
“It has now been confirmed that one person lost their life in Kitengela yesterday. The Police shot and killed 28-year-old Vincent Ayomo. This is another senseless and needless killing by Ruto’s regime. We send our condolences to Vincent’s family and demand justice and accountability. This is exactly what we are fighting against,” Edwin Sifuna stated on February 16, 2026.
