The Nairobi senator, Edwin Sifuna, officially launched The Equitable Party (TEP) on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in Nairobi. The event marked the beginning of his political campaign for the 2027 presidential election. Sifuna presented TEP as a platform centered on citizen engagement, transparency, and equal opportunity.
During the launch, Sifuna emphasized the need for inclusive governance and pledged to prioritize public consultation. He outlined his vision for a more accountable political system, stressing that TEP would operate with a focus on fairness and community-driven decision-making. The party’s launch included the announcement of Sifuna as its leader and presidential candidate.
This move comes as Sifuna seeks to consolidate his political influence ahead of the 2027 election. TEP was established as a new political vehicle, distinct from his previous affiliations. The party’s formation follows a strategic shift in his political career, aiming to build a broader base of support across Kenya. Sifuna’s leadership of TEP is seen as a key step in his campaign for national leadership.
