Linda Mwananchi has formally endorsed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as its presidential candidate for the 2027 General Election.
The movement announced the decision on Saturday, September 26, as it moved to formalise its political vehicle ahead of the elections.
Sifuna will lead the unveiling of the party through which he will seek the presidency in early October.
“H.E Edwin Watenya Sifuna is our leader and Presidential Candidate,” Linda Mwananchi said in a statement.
The movement said it would remain united as it prepares for the next phase of its political activities.
It also announced plans to work with other political parties ahead of the 2027 elections.
“We will seek to build a coalition with like-minded parties that share our commitment to the people of Kenya,” the movement said.
The coalition plan will allow Linda Mwananchi to work with other parties while maintaining its own political structure.
The October party launch will therefore mark a shift from the movement’s mobilisation activities to a formal political organisation capable of fielding candidates in the 2027 elections.
The decision comes amid wider efforts by opposition formations to negotiate alliances and settle on their preferred presidential candidates ahead of the August 2027 polls.
