Linda Mwananchi brigade to hold rally in Nakuru

According to its itinerary, the brigade will start attend a church service at Kivumbini PAG Church in Nakuru Town East and later hold a political rally at Mazembe Grounds in Nakuru Town West till evening.

On Saturday, Siaya Governor James Orengo said he met the Luo Community in Nakuru to hold talks on the future of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.

“As a principle of Linda Mwananchi, my message is very clear. I am in ODM to stay,” he wrote on X.

He vowed to not allow the gains made by the late party’s premier, Raila Odinga, to be eroded by the alleged infiltration of ill-willing persons to cripple the party.

“I am committed to fighting from within to keep Baba’s spirit alive and ensure our party remains the voice of the people,” he added.

Other Linda Mwananchi principles among them Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino have vowed to fight for the party against an alleged takeover by the ruling party, the United Democratic Alliance and the Kenya Kwanza coalition.

The faction was formed after ODM leader Oburu Odinga announced political ties with President William Ruto’s government, a move that was not welcomed by all party members.

The Linda Mwananchi brigade expressed concerns over the partnership, maintaining it does not align with the principles Mr. Odinga stood for.

ODM even ousted Senator Sifuna as its Secretary General but he did not bow to the move, maintaining he is still the rightful party SG.

The Politcal Parties Dispites Tribunal has blocked the implementation of a new SG, forcing ODM to return to the drawing board.

Linda Mwananchi has maintained it will continue holding nationwide political engagements to continue wooing its supporters.
