The party’s legal counsel, Ndegwa Njiru, said the rebranding reflects the current political climate.
“The party has started a journey of revolution. We want to align with what is happening in the country,” Njiru said.
During the meeting, WPF delegates passed a resolution that made Kalonzo as the party’s Presidential bearer in the 2027 General Election.
Opposition leaders at the event have called for unity within the coalition to strengthen efforts to unseat President William Ruto.
