Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and a section of Orange Democratic Movement leaders have revealed plans to begin Linda Mwananchi Tours. The branding “Linda Mwananchi” (protect the citizen) signals a commitment to prioritising ordinary voters’ concerns over elite political rhetoric, according to public posts tied to the initiative. Beyond citizen engagement, the tour also serves a strategic positioning purpose for Sifuna, Owino and allied legislators in the broader political landscape. The Linda Mwananchi Tour is taking shape against the backdrop of internal divisions within ODM. The faction has maintained a critical stance toward the current broad-based government alignment pursued by other ODM figures, reflecting divergent political strategies within the party.
