A Nairobi resident has filed a constitutional petition at the High Court, demanding that Senator Edwin Sifuna account for millions of shillings raised through his political movement, Linda Mwananchi. Alan Masakhalia, the petitioner, argues that the funds could be misused if Sifuna decides to abandon his presidential ambitions. The funds were raised via M-Pesa through a Paybill number, with Masakhalia contributing Sh55, believing the money would support Sifuna's potential 2027 presidential bid.

The petition, filed on September 16, 2026, seeks to determine whether Kenyans who contributed to the campaign have the right to accountability, transparency, and proper use of the funds. Masakhalia is also seeking an order to prevent Sifuna and Linda Mwananchi from disposing of, transferring, or diverting the funds.
