In an official notice issued on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the party leadership maintained that preparations are complete to approve the outfit’s formal name change from The Equitable Party (TEP) to the Linda Mwananchi Movement and to ratify its national leadership structure ahead of the 2027 General Election.
According to party communications, the proposed lineup scheduled for confirmation includes Sifuna as party leader, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi as national chairperson, and Suba South MP Caroli Omondi as secretary-general. The movement has also published strict accreditation and attendance guidelines for delegates converging in Nairobi to ensure orderly proceedings.
The firm stance follows a petition lodged before the PPDT by registered member Emmanuel Wellingtone Khamala, represented by lawyer Danstan Omari. In court filings, Khamala accused the interim leadership of making unilateral appointments without consulting ordinary members and questioned Sifuna’s legal eligibility to lead the rebranded outfit, alleging he had not formally renounced his membership in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
Despite the ongoing tribunal proceedings and regulatory scrutiny over the rebranding process, Linda Mwananchi officials urged delegates and supporters to remain focused on consolidating grassroots structures across all 47 counties.
