How MP Babu Owino Has Reacted Following Sifuna’s Win & Securing Linda Mwananchi Name, Details

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has publicly welcomed the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal’s ruling that has secured the “Linda Mwananchi” party name for Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s movement.

Taking to his social media platforms hours after the verdict, the outspoken lawmaker has extended his congratulations to the Linda Mwananchi team, framing the court victory as a major triumph for ordinary citizens.

Owino’s swift reaction has effectively put to rest lingering rumors regarding reported friction between key principals over party ownership.

Earlier media reports had suggested underlying tensions between Owino and Sifuna regarding electoral vehicles, particularly since the Embakasi East MP currently leads the registered Mwananchi Party.

However, Owino’s positive public response has demonstrated total solidarity with the movement’s legal success, reinforcing the unity forged during their recent Kiambu retreat.

During that Saturday’s closed-door session, coalition principals, including Owino, Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, unanimously endorsed Sifuna as their sole presidential candidate for 2027.

While allied leaders holding separate registered parties pitched their respective platforms as potential campaign vehicles, the team granted Sifuna full authority to select and unveil their final political ticket.

Owino’s enthusiastic reaction to the tribunal ruling has further signaled his willingness to align his political efforts with Sifuna’s national campaign framework.

By celebrating the legal breakthrough alongside Sifuna, Owino has demonstrated that the movement’s top brass has remained firmly committed to presenting a formidable opposition front.

The favorable court verdict has successfully removed administrative bottlenecks, allowing the coalition to shift focus toward structured party expansion and nationwide grassroots mobilization aimed at challenging President William Ruto in the upcoming general election.
