Eugene Wamalwa, leader of the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K), has urged the Linda Mwananchi movement to consider joining the newly formed People's Renaissance Movement (PM) if it continues to face frustrations from the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP). This comes as the PM party announced its establishment, signaling its intention to unite various opposition leaders and movements.
Wamalwa believes that the Linda Mwananchi should not allow administrative hurdles to hinder its political objectives and that the PM is willing to accommodate them. The PM launch has further emphasized the growing realignment within the opposition ahead of the 2027 General Election. Linda Mwananchi, associated with Senator Edwin Sifuna, has been actively seeking to transform itself into an independent political party, particularly after the ODM movement's cooperation with the government arrangement.
The movement has intensified nationwide mobilization tours and has threatened daily protests outside the ORPP if its registration bid is not resolved. Wamalwa has consistently argued that opposition forces and movements are complementary, not competitors, and predicts that the Linda Mwananchi movement will eventually join the opposition coalition for the 2027 election.
