Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and his allies are in the process of registering Linda Mwananchi as a new political party for his 2027 presidential bid, with backup names identified.

• The faction has scheduled a meeting with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties to secure the name, after a previous attempt by another individual was rejected for resembling existing slogans and raising public interest concerns.
• Key figures involved include Senator Sifuna, Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka, and Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, who believe the ODM party is "dead."
• This move is part of a broader effort within the opposition to form a united front, inspired by the 2002 Narc coalition model, to challenge President Ruto in the upcoming elections.
