Linda Mwananchi movement has officially endorsed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as its presidential candidate for the 2027 General Election. The announcement was made in a statement released on September 26, 2026, as the political group moves to finalize its leadership structure and prepare to unveil the party through which Sifuna will run. The endorsement marks a key step in resolving internal leadership questions within the movement.
The decision comes amid growing tensions within the party, following Babu Owino’s launch of the Mwananchi Party. Owino’s move sparked criticism from some of Sifuna’s supporters, leading to a rift in the movement. Despite these challenges, the endorsement signals a strategic alignment to consolidate support ahead of the upcoming election. The movement is now preparing to formally present its political platform and party structure in the lead-up to the 2027 polls.
