The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal has heard a case concerning the control of the political identity "Linda" ahead of the 2027 General Election, with two groups vying for registration.

• The decision, expected on September 30, will determine if the Registrar of Political Parties lawfully rejected Senator Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi Movement while allowing a rival party.
• Key individuals involved include Senator Edwin Sifuna, MP Caroli Omondi, former LSK president Faith Odhiambo, and activist Pauline Njoroge, who filed the appeal.
• The appeal challenges the Registrar's decision to reject the name "Linda Mwananchi Movement" citing "public interest" and potential confusion with the already registered Liberty National Democratic Alliance (LINDA), despite the appellants arguing the names are distinct.
