ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna has expressed openness to an alliance between his Linda Mwananchi Initiative and the United Opposition to challenge President Ruto in the upcoming presidential elections.

• The proposed alliance aims to secure an "overwhelming repudiation" of President Ruto, with a target to defeat him by at least five million votes.
• Key figures involved include Edwin Sifuna, leading the Linda Mwananchi movement, and various leaders within the United Opposition, such as Kalonzo Musyoka and Fred Matiang'i.
• The Linda Mwananchi movement's emergence is injecting urgency into the United Opposition, which has been facing challenges with leadership, structure, and strategy, and is seen as a potential catalyst for opposition unity.
