I will not let you down; Sifuna vows as he is crowned The Equitable Party leader

Speaking at the launch of the party on Sunday, Sifuna vowed that he will steer the party with integrity and political decorum.

"I want to assure you that I will not let you down," he said.

The presidential hopeful said that the party will prioritize change and people-centered leadership, a policy he believes will be the antidote to Kenya's political ills.

"We believe in equal opportunities for everyone in this nation. We will listen before we speak, consult before we decide and explain policies and account all our actions," Sifuna stated.

"I have no capacity on my own to create a movement, it belongs to all of you who have chosen the path of change."

The poised legislature maintained that the party will be swift to be accountable when it makes ill-advised decisions and will invite democratic engagement with its citizens and supporters.

"TEP does not come with a magic wand that will wipe away all our problems but we intend to provide a platform through which these concerns can be heard through democratic institutions," he said.

Senator Sifuna has maintained that his movement has already onboarded a team of experts who act as a beacon of making sober governance decisions and avoid "voodoo economics". 

"They say that if we deal decisively with budgeted corruption it is possible to do away with Housing Levy and VAT on fuel and electricity," Sifuna intimated. 

"They assure me that these interventions will have an immediate impact on the cost of living and even unemployment crisis."

Sifuna's awaited presidential contest has been endorsed by other leaders among them Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, Senators Godfrey Osotsi (Vihiga), Richard Onyonka (Kisii), Boni Khalwale (Kakamega) and Siaya Governor James Orengo.

"With Sifuna I have unqualified opinion that he is fit to be the President of Kenya and I will not change that position," Orengo said.

The party's logo bears green and yellow colours with the symbolic scales of justice, the party assumes the slogan Tusawazishe. 

Kenyans willing to join the party can dial *509# and the party code is 100.

Sifuna joins a list of other leaders who have formed political parties ahead of 2027, days after his Linda Mwananchi Movement secured rights to reserve the name, having faced a debacle at the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties.
