Caleb Amisi, a Saboti Member of Parliament, has cautioned political leaders in the United Opposition against underestimating the impact of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's campaign. Speaking to a local media outlet on August 24, 2026, Amisi stated that Sifuna's growing support is not merely about him personally, but about the political movement he symbolizes.

He cautioned that removing Sifuna from the 2027 presidential ballot could lead to widespread voter apathy, as many Kenyans are seeking a change from the current political climate. Amisi explained that Sifuna has become the face of this movement, even if he may not fully grasp the significance of the broader political sentiment behind him.

He emphasized that his absence would not prevent other candidates with similar ideologies from being elected. Amisi also warned that President William Ruto could face a challenge in the upcoming elections, suggesting that the young generation frustrated by his administration would demand change. He advised political leaders to be prepared for potential upheaval.
