Caleb Amisi Tells Linda Mwananchi Leaders to Back Sifuna’s Presidential Bid

"Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has claimed that Siaya Governor James Orengo, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya joined the Linda Mwananchi movement recently and should therefore support Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s presidential ambitions."

In a post on X on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Amisi said the political movement, now known as Linda Mwananchi, initially began as Kenya Moja before being described as a “third force” in the country’s political landscape.

He said the group later adopted the Linda Mwananchi name after another faction associated with the Orange Democratic Movement began using the Linda Ground name.

According to Amisi, the movement was initially established with the objective of supporting Sifuna’s presidential bid and offering an alternative to Kenya’s established political order.

“Orengo, Osotsi, Natembeya and others only joined recently and must all stick to Sifuna as the assignment,” Amisi said.

The Saboti MP further alleged that the movement had since attracted individuals who were not familiar with its original objectives, claiming their involvement had created confusion and frustrated efforts to build support for Sifuna.

Amisi called on Sifuna to address the disagreements surrounding the movement and give supporters a clear account of its origins and political objectives.

“You know this, do not remain silent in the midst of controversy, tell supporters the truth and stop calling young people moles while they work out here to support your bid for presidency,” he said.

Amisi Raises Party Registration Issue

Amisi also said young political activists had been working towards registering the People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM) as a political party to serve as the political vehicle for the movement.

He claimed those involved had been keeping the Linda Mwananchi leadership informed about the progress of the registration process.

The remarks come amid growing disagreements over the leadership and political direction of Linda Mwananchi as opposition figures position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Amisi has previously raised concerns about his treatment within the movement, including his claim that he was removed from the Linda Mwananchi WhatsApp group during preparations for a political meeting in Kitale.

The latest comments are likely to add to the debate over who should lead the emerging opposition formation and whether its various principals can agree on a single presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 polls.
