Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna launched The Equitable Party on October 4, 2026, as part of his campaign for the 2027 General Election. The event marked the formal introduction of the political vehicle, which Sifuna described as a platform for fair and transparent governance. During the launch, Sifuna criticized the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties, accusing it of facilitating political fraud.
Sifuna, who is a senator in Nairobi, was joined by allies and key political figures, including governors and lawmakers. The party’s launch was attended by prominent lawmakers, including MP Babu Owino, who publicly supported Sifuna’s presidential ambitions. The Equitable Party is being restructured by its founders to strengthen its organizational framework ahead of the upcoming election.
This is not the first time Sifuna has taken a public stance against political institutions. In previous statements, he has called for reforms in electoral processes, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency. The Equitable Party is positioned as a progressive alternative, aiming to address perceived shortcomings in current political systems. The 2027 General Election is expected to be a significant political milestone in Kenya, with multiple candidates vying for leadership. Sifuna’s move underscores the growing competition in the political landscape ahead of the election.
