Sifuna is changing Kenyan politics from all corners

There is a shift in the political space of this country that has caught everyone flat-footed. One can tell from the unease now evident in political spaces. Many dismissed Edwin Sifuna’s emergence as a serious contender largely because none of us saw it coming. I doubt even Sifuna saw it coming.

 Nothing suggested that Sifuna would become one of the most talked-about, followed and closely watched political figures in the country today. We knew him as the fiery Secretary-General, the disciplined and thorough senator, the combative defender of his party.
