The Linda Mwananchi movement, associated with ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna and Siaya Governor James Orengo, is strategizing for the 2027 polls with a dual approach: grassroots mobilization and keeping presidential ambitions open, potentially including Sifuna.

• The movement is building a nationwide grassroots movement under the Linda Mwananchi banner.
• Key figures include Edwin Sifuna, James Orengo, and acknowledged by opposition figures like Mukhisa Kituyi.
• They are deliberately keeping the 2027 succession question open, including the possibility of a presidential bid by Senator Sifuna, while ruling out alignment with President William Ruto.
