Oparanya Now Breaks Silence Two Days After Sifuna Moved To Officially Unveil LMM Party, Days This

According to reports broadcast by Citizen TV Kenya, Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya has publicly dismissed the newly unveiled LMM party, which Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna launched just two days ago as a vehicle for his 2027 presidential ambitions.

The bold unveiling of the party’s new headquarters in the leafy suburbs of Lavington has generated massive national headlines, but Oparanya has firmly downplayed the entire political maneuver.

Speaking on the matter, Oparanya has characterized the new outfit as nothing more than a localized “village outfit” that lacks any serious national weight.

He has argued that Sifuna’s fresh political formation has failed to demonstrate the structural muscle required to compete on the grand national stage.

Furthermore, Oparanya has openly asserted that the LMM party has shown zero capacity to field competitive candidates across the country, effectively labeling the entire project an insignificant attempt to destabilize established political dynamics.

This public critique has highlighted growing friction within the opposition ranks as leaders begin positioning themselves for the next general election cycle. Sifuna has maintained that his newly launched movement has provided a fresh political home for progressive ideals aimed at securing State House.

However, senior leaders like Oparanya have continued to cast serious doubt on its long-term viability, arguing that launching a party in Lavington has done little to convince voters outside the capital.

He has furthermore faulted Sifuna for defecting from a party that late Raila had championed for ODM,for a long time.

As the political temperature continues to rise across Kenya, this war of words between Oparanya and Sifuna has signaled early alignments and intense rivalries.

Sifuna’s camp has remained firm on its path forward, while Oparanya’s blunt assessment has reinforced the steep hurdles facing new political entrants.

Observers have closely watched these developments to see whether the LMM party will gain real traction or remain constrained by the very criticisms leveled against it by veteran politicians.
