Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has strongly denied accusations that he and his Linda Mwananchi movement are a political project funded by former President Uhuru Kenyatta to destabilize the ODM party and thwart President William Ruto's re-election bid.

• Edwin Sifuna, ODM Secretary-General and Linda Mwananchi leader, asserts his political independence and claims public funding for his movement's activities.
• The allegations stem from a faction within the ODM, led by Senator Oburu Oginga, who are reportedly allied with the pro-broad-based government.
• The Linda Mwananchi movement is planning a series of national rallies culminating in a major declaration in Nairobi before the 2027 election, with potential alliances with the United Opposition being explored.
