Speaking during a political engagement Osotsi claimed that the party has not treated some of its long serving members fairly following the departure of veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga from active local politics.
According to the senator several leaders who stood firmly with ODM for years have allegedly been sidelined in recent party decisions.
Osotsi appealed to Sifuna whom he described as a political ally and brother to abandon the contest for the influential Secretary General post.
The senator's remarks are expected to spark debate among ODM supporters and party officials especially at a time when the party is undergoing internal reorganization and positioning itself for future political battles.
Edwin Sifuna who currently serves as Nairobi Senator and ODM Secretary General has remained one of the party's most vocal figures consistently defending its policies and leadership in public forums.
His strong stance on national issues has earned him both admiration and criticism across the political divide.
Political observers believe Osotsi's comments could expose simmering tensions within ODM as leaders jostle for influence ahead of upcoming party activities and the 2027 political landscape.
The latest remarks also highlight the broader conversations taking place within opposition circles regarding succession, party reforms and the future direction of ODM.
Whether Sifuna will respond to Osotsi's appeal remains to be seen but the statement has already reignited discussions about unity and inclusivity within one of Kenya's largest political parties.
As internal debates continue all eyes will be on ODM's leadership to see how it manages the emerging differences among its senior members.
