Sifuna sets out plans for a new political movement ahead of 2027
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is preparing a new political project ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election.
His recently launched The Equitable Party is set to be rebranded as the Linda Mwananchi Movement.
The party’s National Executive Committee agreed to the change on October 8, 2026.
Sifuna has placed constitutionalism, public accountability and a people-centred economic agenda at the centre of his plans.
He argues that opposition leaders must look beyond past disagreements if they want to defeat President William Ruto.
He also says a president’s performance should not be judged only by visible development projects.
The rebranding signals a wider political effort, but the sources do not say what steps will follow.
