Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua praised Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna for choosing The Equitable Party as his political vehicle ahead of the 2027 General Election. Gachagua made the remarks during a church service in the United States on October 4, 2026, as part of his ongoing tour.
Sifuna officially unveiled The Equitable Party during a public event on the same day. He pledged to focus on citizen-centred leadership, accountability, and equal opportunity. The party will serve as his political platform for the 2027 elections. Sifuna emphasized the need for consultation and transparency in governance.
The Equitable Party was later rebranded as the Linda Mwananchi Movement. This change reflects Sifuna’s broader strategy to align the party with community-driven policies. The rebranding was announced as part of his campaign plans, highlighting a shift toward more inclusive and participatory governance.
The move comes amid growing political activity in Kenya ahead of the 2027 elections. Sifuna’s decision to rebrand his party signals a strategic realignment in the political landscape. The Equitable Party, now known as the Linda Mwananchi Movement, aims to address local concerns through a more grassroots approach.
The rebranding follows a series of political announcements by Sifuna, who has positioned himself as a key figure in Kenya’s upcoming electoral cycle. His campaign promises focus on improving public services and ensuring equitable opportunities for all citizens.
