Millie has consistently expressed confidence in Sifuna's leadership abilities, questioning the political decisions that led to his removal as Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary-General.
The legislator has previously maintained that removing Sifuna from the influential party position was an unnecessary move, arguing that the Nairobi senator had established himself as an important figure within ODM.
Her remarks come amid growing political attention surrounding Sifuna, who has increasingly positioned himself as a potential presidential contender through the Linda Mwananchi Movement.
The movement has attracted several prominent political figures who believe the country needs a different political direction ahead of the next general election.
Among those associated with the emerging political camp are Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya.
Their growing association with Sifuna has strengthened speculation that the Nairobi senator could emerge as one of the leading figures in the opposition's presidential succession discussions.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i are among the prominent figures whose political ambitions and influence could shape the coalition's eventual decision.
Gachagua has repeatedly challenged opposition leaders to organise themselves, build grassroots support and develop a winning strategy instead of relying on political meetings.
Meanwhile, Sifuna's supporters have continued to portray him as a politician capable of attracting younger voters and challenging the traditional political establishment.
The growing debate has placed Millie's remarks at the centre of discussions about whether the opposition should consider a relatively younger politician for its top seat.
Nevertheless, no final decision has been announced regarding the opposition's presidential flag bearer.
As political realignments continue, Sifuna's influence, growing national visibility and support within the Linda Mwananchi camp could become important factors in determining the direction of the opposition ahead of 2027.
