Political party dilemma threatens to fracture Linda Mwananchi unity
Babu's position exposes a delicate balancing act within the opposition movement, which is attempting to project unity around Sifuna.
Nairobi, Kenya – The formation of the Linda Mwananchi opposition alliance has faced a potential rift, with MP Babu Owino stating he will retain his own political party despite supporting Senator Edwin Sifuna's presidential bid. Owino met Sifuna to discuss the Ukombozi People’s Party as a potential vehicle, but remains committed to his own party, acquired before Linda Mwananchi's creation. This discrepancy highlights the challenge of maintaining unity within the coalition while each figure pursues their political ambitions.
