Sifuna-led party rebrands to Linda Mwananchi Movement at National Delegates Conference

The resolution was adopted on Friday, November 13, during a closed-door National Delegates Conference (NDC) held in Nairobi, where delegates considered and ratified a series of proposals aimed at formalising the party’s transition into the new political outfit.

In a statement issued after the conference, the party confirmed that delegates had approved the proposed change of name, alongside changes to its official colours, symbol and headquarters.

The meeting also endorsed amendments to the party’s constitution, as well as revisions to its nomination and election rules, in a move aimed at restructuring its internal governance and aligning its operations with the new political identity.

Additionally, delegates authorised the party leadership to pursue coalition-building engagements with like-minded political formations as it positions itself for the 2027 electoral contest.

The party welcomed the resolutions, describing them as an important milestone in strengthening its organisational structures and formalising its transition.

"We take this opportunity to thank the NDC for taking this key step in formalising the party’s transition to Linda Mwananchi Movement and strengthening its organisational structure," the statement read.

The rebranding comes against the backdrop of growing political realignments, emerging alliances and intensified preparations among political players seeking to consolidate their positions ahead of the 2027 General Election.
