Linda Mwananchi Movement Threatens Daily Protests Over Party Registration - August 2026

The Linda Mwananchi Movement has announced plans for daily protests outside the Registrar of Political Parties offices starting Monday if their party registration application is not approved. In a related development, allies of the Kenyan Government issued a stern warning to opposition leaders, cautioning them against forming alliances with DCP leader Rigathi Rigathi Gachagua. Separately, Gachagua declared himself the most suitable candidate to lead a united opposition in a bid to unseat President William Ruto. Meanwhile, the High Court in Malindi declared that Kenya's next General Election should have been held on August 11, 2026, rather than in 2027. At the same time, Malindi movement supporters stormed Busia, accusing the government of blocking their party registration.
