Nairobi
Senator Edwin Sifuna, fresh from his July 16 removal as Senate Deputy Minority
Whip, joined Siaya Governor James Orengo, MP Babu Owino, LSK President Faith
Odhiambo, and Willis Raburu for the Linda Mwananchi rally in Taita Taveta
County.
The 'Defend
the Citizen' movement, which Sifuna leads independently of ODM's government
ties, drew organic crowds focusing on high costs, taxes, and local development
ahead of a 10 a.m. K24Tv broadcast.
Supporters see the rally as a test of its reach into coastal areas, amid chants positioning Sifuna for 2027, while ODM critics call it divisive.
