According to Sifuna, there was a coordinated scheme to interfere with their meetings, alleging that individuals had been positioned in advance to cause chaos and attack attendees.
He said similar disruptions were witnessed in both Kilifi and Mombasa, insisting that the plan to harass leaders had been openly discussed prior to the meetings.
The allegations add to growing concerns about the use of organised groups to disrupt political gatherings and threaten the safety of leaders and their supporters.
The claims come amid internal wrangles within Orange Democratic Movement following the death of party leader Raila Odinga, which has exposed divisions over the party’s future direction.
Sifuna, who opposes cooperation with William Ruto under the broad-based arrangement, has been at the center of the dispute, facing criticism from rival factions within the party.
