Major Blow To Sifuna As His Insider Quits, Makes Political Move Ahead Of 2027

Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gisairo, who was among the pioneer supporters of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s Linda Mwananchi movement, has increasingly aligned himself with Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Gisairo recently shared a podium with Matiang’i during a funeral ceremony in Esise Ward, where he publicly praised the former Interior Cabinet Secretary for his leadership and record of service.

The MP has also urged the Abagusii community to unite behind Matiang’i’s presidential ambitions, arguing that their unity would strengthen the community’s political influence.

Gisairo previously accompanied Sifuna during Linda Mwananchi rallies alongside Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi. However, Kibagendi has also publicly backed Matiang’i’s presidential bid.

Other Gusii leaders supporting Matiang’i include Bomachoge Borabu MP Obadiah Barongo, Borabu MP Patrick Osero and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka.

The developments come as Sifuna seeks to expand his political influence nationally through The Equitable Party after efforts to register Linda Mwananchi as a political party failed.

Meanwhile, a Swiss Poll International survey released on November 14 placed Sifuna at 15% in presidential preference, compared with Matiang’i’s 6% and Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro’s 4%.
