List of Leaders, Including UDA Politicians, Expected to Join Sifuna on Linda Mwananchi Tour in Kakamega

A number of prominent Kenyan politicians are expected to accompany Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna during his highly anticipated Linda Mwananchi tour in Kakamega County this Saturday.

The rally, which has generated significant political buzz, is seen as part of a broader mobilization effort aimed at consolidating support across different regions. 

The event follows a series of well-attended meetings, including a recent rally in Kitengela that attracted national attention.

Among the leaders who have publicly confirmed their attendance is former nominated senator Millicent Omanga, a member of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). 

Through her official Facebook page, Omanga announced that she would be joining Sifuna’s team in Kakamega, signaling a major political shift that has sparked debate across the country.

Omanga’s declaration has drawn widespread reactions, especially given her previous association with President William Ruto’s political camp.

Her move is being interpreted by analysts as a sign of changing alliances ahead of future political contests.

Also expected to attend the Kakamega rally is Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino, known for his outspoken political style and strong youth following. His presence is likely to energize supporters and add momentum to the event.

Siaya County governor James Orengo is also listed among the key leaders expected to grace the occasion. 

Orengo, a seasoned politician and senior figure within ODM, has been vocal on national governance matters and is viewed as a central pillar in opposition politics.

In addition, Ukambani politician Patrick Makau has confirmed that he will join Sifuna’s team during the Western Kenya tour. His participation signals efforts to broaden the movement’s appeal beyond traditional strongholds.

Other notable figures associated with the Linda Mwananchi camp include ODM deputy party leader Godfrey Osotsi, Kisii senator Richard Onyonka, and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, among others.

The Kakamega rally is expected to address key national issues, including governance, economic challenges, and calls for greater accountability in public service.

Reactions from Kenyans on social media have been mixed. While a section of netizens has welcomed the growing list of leaders backing the tour and wished the team success, others have questioned the shifting political loyalties of some participants.
