Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has announced the unveiling of the Linda Mwananchi Movement's party headquarters in Nairobi towards the end of October 2026. The rebranding process from the Equitable Party to the Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) is already underway and was approved by the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) following a dispute with the registrar over the reservation of the name.
Sifuna urged supporters to drop the Equitable Party banner and embrace the Linda Mwananchi Movement, which began as a rebel faction within the ODM party. The rebranding follows weeks of disagreements and was approved after a ruling in favor of Sifuna's camp by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal. The movement aims to present itself as a center-left political alternative, focusing on human rights, economic liberation, and constitutionalism.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua congratulated Sifuna on his political vehicle and encouraged supporters to join the party and seek elective positions.
