Why Sifuna picked TEP for his 2027 presidential contest

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna on Sunday unveiled The Equitable Party (TEP) as his political vehicle for the 2027 presidential contest, ending months of uncertainty over the party he would use after his efforts to register the Linda Mwananchi Movement ran into legal and regulatory hurdles.

The decision to take over an existing party gives Mr Sifuna a ready-made electoral vehicle as the countdown to the August 10, 2027 General Election gathers pace, while leaving the door open for his preferred Linda Mwananchi brand.
