Sifuna’s Linda Mwananchi Brigade Heads to Nakuru

The Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) led Linda Mwananchi team will be holding a political rally in Nakuru town on Sunday, April 19, 2026.

This announcement was made by Joshua Ayika, an aide to Siaya Governor James Orengo, who is an integral member of the Linda Mwananchi team—a movement primarily made up of rebels from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

This comes at a time when the Linda Mwananchi movement is slowly gaining momentum, exciting the masses. This has seen them attract crowds in different locations.

Their maiden rally was in Busia, followed by Kitengela and then Kakamega. After this, they took a brief hiatus before resuming political activities with a rally in Narok town. A week later, they went to the coast at Tononoka Grounds on March 29, 2026, where they continued to draw huge crowds.

Linda Mwananchi broke from the ODM party after the Orange party, which has been in existence for over two decades, saw its leaders divided on which direction the party should take in preparation for the 2027 election. This led to two factions: one led by the party leader Oburu Odinga, dubbed ODM Linda Ground, and the other led by Edwin Sifuna, all aiming to outdo each other.

The rift between these two factions culminated during the Special Delegates Conference (SDC) carried out by the Oburu Odinga side at Jamhuri Grounds, where the Sifuna team opposed it and set up a parallel NDC, which they dubbed People’s NDC at Ufangamano House.
