Sifuna's The Equitable Party Announces Plans to Change Name, Headquarters

The Equitable Party (TEP), associated with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, has announced plans to change its name to Linda Mwananchi Movement.

In a notice on Saturday, October 10, the party said the proposed changes followed a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Thursday, October 8.

"Following the National Executive Committee meeting that was held on 8th October 2026, The Equitable Party (TEP) wishes to notify its members and the general public that it intends to carry out the following changes," the notice read.

The party listed the proposed changes as a name change to Linda Mwananchi Movement, a revision of its constitution, new party colours, relocation of its headquarters and adoption of a new party symbol.

The planned rebranding would change the party’s official identity, with the proposed name placing the Linda Mwananchi Movement label at the centre of its political activities.

Elsewhere, Sifuna has defended his decision to remain a member of ODM while refusing to seek re-election on its ticket.
