Big Win For Linda Mwananchi As Sifuna Receives Mass Defectors From ODM And UDA

Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) leader Edwin Sifuna has received a fresh group of political leaders who have ditched the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), in a boost to his growing political movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The leaders were received on Wednesday, November 11, at the movement’s Nairobi headquarters, where Sifuna welcomed them and expressed excitement over their decision to join LMM.

Among the new members was Nancy Kibaba, a Bungoma Woman Representative aspirant who contested the position on a UDA ticket during the 2022 General Election.

Also joining the movement was Titus Kwoma, the Chekalini Ward MCA and Minority Leader in the Kakamega County Assembly.

Kibaba’s defection is particularly significant given her previous association with President William Ruto’s political network. She also served in Bungoma County before joining Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s office.

The latest arrivals come as Sifuna intensifies efforts to establish LMM as an alternative political force in Western Kenya, a region where senior government leaders, including Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, have been mobilising support for UDA ahead of 2027.

Sifuna has also received ODM defectors from Laikipia County.

The developments come ahead of LMM’s National Delegates Convention scheduled for November 13, as political realignments gather momentum.
