Omwami Senator @edwinsifuna ,
I have never addressed you directly in my tweets , but please indulge me this once.
Many of us support and believe in you precisely because you appear different from the old Kenyatta/Moi/Nyayo political culture and the current UhuRuto style of politics.
You speak to a generation of Kenyans that is tired of tribal mobilization, political entitlement, elite deals, and recycled coalitions that promise change but eventually protect the same old system.
That is why many of us respectfully feel that your greatest political strength is not in “joining” the traditional opposition establishment, but in first building and protecting the LindaMwananchi reform movement as an independent national force rooted in constitutionalism, justice, accountability, competence, and issue-based politics.
The truth is that the mathematics of 2027 actually gives reform politics a serious chance if approached strategically.
More than 8 million registered voters skipped the 2022 election because of frustration, voter apathy, and loss of faith in the political system.
Raila Odinga received about 6.8 million votes in that election. If a reform movement attracts even half of that support base, that is already about 3.5 million votes.
By 2027, millions of new young and Gen Z voters are also expected to join the register. If only half of those align with reform-oriented politics, that could realistically add another 3 million or more votes.
On top of that, the current administration won with about 7 million votes, but growing economic hardship, unemployment, governance frustrations, and public dissatisfaction mean that even a shift of 2 million voters away from the regime significantly changes the political equation.
That is how the LindaMwananchi movement can realistically build a reform coalition approaching 10 million votes and importantly, one that is NOT built on tribal kingpins, dynasties, or fear-based ethnic politics.
This is why the argument consistently made by @Honcalebamisi makes sense to many young Kenyans: Kenya needs a genuinely new political direction, a new leadership culture, and issue-based politics rather than another recycling of the same political class under different slogans.
Many people within your emerging support base are already comfortable with cooperation among reform-minded leaders such as @dkmaraga , @OkiyaOmtatah , @bonifacemwangi , @ReubenKigame , @ProfKibwana , @MigunaMiguna and others not because they are perfect individuals, but because they symbolize an attempt to move Kenya toward ethical, constitutional, citizen-centered leadership outside the traditional political establishment.
That is why many of us become concerned whenever you appear to position yourself as simply waiting to be absorbed into the old opposition structure without subjecting them to the following criteria:
Those values include:
1. Constitutionalism
2. Respect for the rule of law
3. Social justice and equality of all citizens as envisioned in the Constitution
4. Positive ethnicity and seeing Kenya as one nation, not merely a collection of tribes
5. A complete departure from the Kenyatta/Moi/Nyayo and UhuRuto brand of politics and leadership which has been a cancer
If that happens too early or without ideological clarity, there is a real risk of weakening the authenticity and independence that currently make you politically attractive to many young and politically independent Kenyans.
Please protect what makes you different.
Because that difference is not a weakness.
It is your greatest political strength.
I would love to see you and these like minded individuals hitting the road on a campaign trial to counter the sitting administration and attract the legacy politicians like it has already done for @EugeneLWamalwa ( Thank you Kiongozi for your recent endorsement)

They were scared of the revolution, which would have uprooted and transformed the defective colonial system, eliminated graft, created a merit-based and equitable society.

Unpopular opinion but Miguna Miguna is the only person capable to lead the jailing and recovery of every single cent, land etc stolen by the home guards since independence. Imagine Uhuru and Raila teamed up to kick him out of Kenya for his revolutionary ideas. Why were they so afraid of him?
