What Supporters Have Started Doing Nationwide That Has Left Sifuna & His LMM Team Smiling

Linda Mwananchi Movement supporters have taken the party’s registration drive to the villages this weekend, a grassroots push that has drawn warm praise from Edwin Sifuna, according to a post he has shared on his verified X account.

Volunteers across the country have decided not to wait for instructions from Nairobi. Instead, they have walked into their own neighbourhoods, set up small registration points and begun signing up new members, village by village.

The effort has come at a moment when the movement has been growing steadily, and its backers have clearly decided to make the most of the momentum.

Sifuna has noticed, and he has said so plainly. He has written that he and his team are very impressed with the ongoing work at the grassroots level, driven by the volunteer movements spread across the country.

He has added that they see the effort and salute those behind it, a message that has landed as a genuine thank-you rather than a routine political pat on the back.

The senator has also reminded the volunteers that they have not been left to carry the load alone. The National Secretariat in Nairobi has been set up to back their efforts, and he has encouraged them to reach out whenever they need help.

To make that easier, he has shared a graphic carrying the secretariat’s contact lines, 0769 990000 and 0762 990000, alongside the movement’s website, lindamwananchi.com.

Interest in the post has been considerable. Within about 39 minutes of going up, it has gathered roughly 1.9K likes, 756 reposts and 118 replies, and it has been viewed around 17,000 times.

Those figures suggest that the volunteers’ work has struck a chord well beyond the villages where it has been happening.

For the movement, the weekend has offered a useful picture of what community-driven organizing can look like. Members who have registered at their doorstep have not had to travel to a town centre or wait for a big rally, and that convenience has likely helped widen the party’s reach into areas that are often overlooked.

Sifuna has not given a figure for how many new members have signed up so far. For now, his message has remained simple: keep going, and know that the team in Nairobi has been standing right behind you.
