The political battle for the 2027 presidency has intensified, with leaders allied to the Linda Mwananchi movement urging opposition figures Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua and Fred Matiang’i to abandon their presidential ambitions and back Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.

Bumula MP Jack Wamboka made the call after a three-day political tour of Western Kenya by the Linda mwananchi brigade, saying the region had demonstrated growing grassroots support for Sifuna.

Wamboka said the tour was a major success, with close to 22 rallies held in three days. He added that the crowds reflected growing enthusiasm for Sifuna, particularly among young people, women, political aspirants and ordinary voters.
