Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has expressed deep gratitude to members of The Equitable
Party following the official rebranding of the political outfit into the Linda Mwananchi
Movement Party.

Taking to his social media platforms shortly after the landmark decision, Sifuna
thanked the party faithful for their unwavering support and invoked God’s blessings
upon them as they embark on a new political chapter.

The historic transition was ratified on Friday during a closed-door National Delegates
Conference held in Nairobi.

With media barred from the tightly controlled proceedings, delegates drawn from 
across the counties formally approved the change of the party’s name, alongside 
sweeping updates to its official colors, symbols, headquarters, and constitution.

The resolutions followed the dismissal of legal petitions that had sought to block
the conference and challenge the proposed leadership transition.

According to a post-conference statement issued by the party’s head of communications,
Pauline Njoroge, the delegates also endorsed revised nomination and election rules
to strengthen internal structures.

Crucially, the conference granted the party leadership a formal mandate to initiate
coalition-building engagements with like-minded political formations ahead of the
2027 General Election.

The rebrand marks a major milestone for Sifuna, who took over the leadership of 
TEP following his ouster as Orange Democratic Movement Secretary-General earlier
in the year.

Alongside key allies—including proposed deputies Kawira Mwangaza, Faith Odhiambo,
and Patrick Makau, as well as presidential campaign head Trans Nzoia Governor George
Natembeya—Sifuna is positioning the newly minted Linda Mwananchi Movement Party 
as a formidable opposition vehicle.

By bidding farewell to the TEP identity with a message of gratitude, Sifuna has 
officially signaled the start of an aggressive nationwide grassroots mobilization
ahead of the upcoming electoral contest.
