Why is it so difficult for my community to support Sifuna’s presidency? The answer is simple: we are too proud for nothing. Let’s face the truth: Raila was never president because of us! It’s time we put our pride aside and face reality. Sifuna the 6th.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄: 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑! The 2026 US Midterm Elections have delivered a major political setback to President Donald Trump, with Democrats reclaiming control of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Hakeem Jeffries is now poised to make history as America's first Black Speaker of the House and Keisha Lance Bottoms becomes yhe 1st black woman Governor. Former President Barack Obama has been an influential campaign voice, mobilising Democratic support and challenging Trump's record on the economy, affordability, fuel prices and governance. From the rising cost of living and housing pressures to controversy surrounding the costly White House renovation (Cheesecake factory), the election has become a referendum on the direction of Trump's presidency. The message from American voters is clear: economic accountability, rule of law, governance and the cost of living matter. Political power is never permanent, and voters ultimately have the final say. Just like in Kenya where Mwananchi has accused Ruto of orchestrating punitive policies and state house renovation and holding parliament hostage, the signs are very clear. BLUE IS THE COLOUR! Kenya is watching. The lessons of democracy are universal.

It feels very nice to see good people winning elections. Watu roho safi tu who actually care about ordinary citizens. Bad people have been winning too much bwana. What a night for the Democratic Party in the US midterms. Blue wave, sindio?

Transparency, Accoubtability, sustainable development. The #LindaMwananchiMovement promise is to make all project contracts available to the public in conformity with these three Constitutional Values. We all know why the Ruto regime hides these agreements. From Bomas to Talanta to Rironi highway to Lamu refinery, we are being robbed blind. #LindaKatiba

The excitement around Bayern and Ajax playing in Kenya is a classic modern example of panem et circenses—bread and circuses. The oldest trick in the book from ancient Rome, the formula remains unchanged..... keep the masses thoroughly entertained and distracted, and they will stop thinking critically about the issues that truly affect them... wantam—

In ancient Rome as in current Kenya, the poor need spectacular displays to forget their poverty. End.

A government for hustlers… But their main critique of Edwin Sifuna is that he is poor. How shameful! An incumbent government But has no track record to boast about. Their only basis for re-election is that they have money to campaign.

Dear @LindaMwananchi_ To win this coming election, we MUST run a campaign like nothing has been run before in Kenya. We cannot only rely on the old methods and hope to beat the veterans who have been doing those things for years! First of all, the movement must realize where its greatest strength lies. LMM’s greatest strength comes from being owned by the young people. The hopeful, energetic, enthusiastic young people who are full of ideas. Linda Mwananchi MUST find an effective way to tap into this energy and brilliance. My suggestion is to have a robust volunteer program which invites volunteers to the campaign, vets them, evaluates their abilities and assigns them roles in the campaign purely on a VOLUNTARY basis. The only thing such volunteers would need is recognition and assurance that the movement shall NEVER betray its core ideals. This program if well run, has the potential to provide the largest group of boots on the ground in the entire nation. We have professionals such as medics, lawyers, teachers and others who are willing to volunteer. We also have creatives such as musicians, influencers and tiktokers who have already volunteered their services and are doing good work. They just need to be organized, focused and integrated into the formal structures of the movement. Next, fundraising MUST not just be through the traditional pay bill means. Please let us get creative! Let us have merchandise on sale on the website where people can buy not only for themselves but also for others. Let us have an option for people to donate in kind. You may have someone who owns a car and wants to donate it, let them. Let there be a register of donations and personal acknowledgment to each donor. After that, the manifesto must include all Kenyans, not just a few experts sitting and deciding what to do. Kenyans know the problems they face and they also know the solutions. Engage them more in conversations. Rallies are good but let us have many townhalls. In fact, a town hall can even be virtual. The way we had twitter spaces and TikTok live to discuss Finance Bill and other oppressive laws in 2024. Let us have at least two of these every week with a principal of Linda Mwananchi and preferably H.E Sifuna. These are very low cost but very high impact activities. During those townhalls, we listen and take note of what Kenyans want. These engagements will help the movement understand what to prioritize and to visualize how the first 100 days will look like. All these activities ant structures should culminate in having soldiers all around the 55,000 polling stations. Willing believers who want to change our country for the better. With at least 20 per polling station, our message will reach every nook and cranny on of Kenya. I am willing to be volunteer number 1 to give many more ideas that I have. @edwinsifuna @abbiezuena @genz___baddie @FredahOndu61763 @paulinenjoroge @gwamaee

There is a generation born between 1965-1979 called the gen x ,that doesn't get the recognition they deserve as the architects of the problems Kenyans are facing . This is the generation that found 100% university funding and ready government jobs . This are the people who were hired into the civil service with just form 6 certificates . This people are fiercely tribal , corrupt and religious at the same time . This people climbed the ladder and cut it below them to make sure nobody climbs it. With the help of millenials they have made existence unbearable to everyone else. This is the generation that will not leave a job even if they become billionaires .

The NCA says the collapsed Eastleigh building was registered under number 53128815710410. We decided to check its official database, but the registration number was nowhere to be found. nca.go.ke/approved-projects

Did State Corporations buy shares in Kenya Pipeline IPO to hold them for Aliko Dangote? If this is proven directly or through circumstantial evidence, it will violate every applicable provision of the Constitution, Statutes & established law. State institutions cannot be proxies for individuals. As over Kshs. 42B of public money was involved, Kenyans deserve the whole truth. In the US, the judicial system has developed the law called “facading”, where companies & its Directors are held criminally liable for financial engineering & manipulating the capital markets.

80% of food in Kenya is produced by millions of small holders. Now you want to farm for them? You want the old men + women to migrate to "affordable housing" AND DO WHAT EXACTLY? Be your slaves? Even a bad student knows what to copy! You don't copy names in the original work.

Kenyans elect fools and thieves without a second thought. But when it comes to Edwin Sifuna, all of a sudden we want experience; we want economic policy, bla bla bla.... What experience did Uhuru have? What use was Ruto's experience as DP for 10 years; how has it benefited us?

Everyone in Japan has a job in factories, etc. No one has been forced to give up their Land. This model you want to replicate in Kenya is not your model. It is a model of the multinational GMOs whose plan is to take over the African Landmass and dictate the seeds we grow. Dangerous neocolonialism....

Replying to @MusaliaMudavadi
@MusaliaMudavadi says that @edwinsifuna has unveiled his party too late to the elections that are still ten months away. The NARC coalition that showed Mudavadi dust was unveiled three months to the 2002 elections. The ODM party that Mudavadi rode on to resurrect his career in 2007 was acquired by Raila as a last minute deal from wakili Mugambi Imanyara three months to the elections. The party owned by Kibaki's second wife, Mary Wambui, which Mudavadi fled to from ODM in 2013, and through which he sought the presidency on a "mademoni" deal, was unveiled three and half months to elections. The NASA coalition, on which Mudavadi tried to redeem himself in 2017, was launched three months to the 2017 elections. And after his "earthquake" failed in 2022, his deal with UDA for the 2022 elections was done as a last-minute arrangement. How would Sifuna's 10-months-to-election party be late, yet Mudavadi consistently arrives to the table three months before elections? If anything, Mudavadi will endorse Sifuna in April 2027. His pattern is predictable.

We all saw Fith Odhiambo in courtrooms and police cells in 2024. Where was Winnie Odinga? Where was Jalang'o?
Between Winnie Odinga and Jalang'o Mwenyewe who will you vote for as a senator for Nairobi 2027?

As @LindaMwananchi_ team, we forgive the disgraceful conduct by DIG Gilbert Masengeli and Lagat at Opicho’s funeral in Kitale today. We still got to speak to the people. I know many in public service are living in fear because we have a very petty regime in power. Being seen to “allow” opposition leaders too much leeway can end careers. My assurance is that in 10 months you will experience true freedom.
