Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has announced plans to form a new movement separate from Linda Mwananchi, saying that it has deviated from its original course.

Speaking during an interview with a local media station on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the outspoken MP, who is an integral member of Linda Mwananchi, also stated that the movement will aim to bring credible people to Parliament in the next general election who are focused on changing society.

“The Linda Mwananchi did not understand its initial assignment, and it has deviated from its original course, and that is why I want to form a new movement that will continue with the struggle,” Amisi said.

He further intimated that since they have deviated from the original plan, the course must continue, and that is why, according to him, he has decided to form a separate movement to champion the cause.

He went on to state that Linda Mwananchi, which was created as a quality alternative for young people seeking an overhaul in the governance sector, has begun conforming to the status quo and has veered off the path it was supposed to navigate. He went on to state that he has a team of think tanks who have already begun drafting the issues and agenda that the movement will pursue.

Amisi further added that the movement will be a renaissance movement or people’s movement but will be different from the People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM) that has been widely associated with him. He insisted that this is a movement and not a party, which, according to him, will ensure that a new crop of leaders are elected into Parliament who are credible and can even impeach a president whenever he goes wrong, something he argued the current Parliament cannot attempt.

The movement’s goal

According to Amisi, the plans to remove President William Ruto from power in 2027 through the ballot failed. He argued that the movement, which is concentrating on ensuring credible people are elected to Parliament, would then be in a position to succeed in that mission and remove him immediately through impeachment after he is elected into office.

“We are starting a renaissance movement, what we call the people’s movement. The purpose of this movement is to ensure a new crop of leaders is elected. The goal of the movement is that I want new people in parliament who are credible, who even when a president goes wrong,” he added.

Amisi went ahead to state that he was the brain behind Linda Mwananchi and even selected Edwin Sifuna to be its leader. He contended that were it not for him, after Sifuna’s ouster from ODM party leadership, he would not have had a landing site and would have been roaming around without any portfolio or the crowd hype he has been receiving recently.

However, he insisted that he formed the vehicle and that Sifuna’s removal from ODM only catapulted his popularity.

Linda Mwananchi’s direction

This comes at a time when Caleb Amisi appears dissatisfied with the direction that Linda Mwananchi is taking. He has also rejected their calls to get into a partnership with the United Opposition, maintaining that the movement should remain independent and focused on its original objectives.
