Linda Mwananchi has dismissed a purported political alliance with the Jubilee Party after a document circulating online claimed the two formations had agreed to work together ahead of the next general election.

Taking to their X handle on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the movement has termed the statement as fake, distancing itself from the document that hinted that a new political partnership had been forged between the Jubilee Party and the Linda Mwananchi Movement to offer Kenyans what it described as a “credible third force”.

The document, dated Wednesday, July 22, 2026, stated that the alliance would bring together the Jubilee Party under the leadership of Fred Matiang’i and the Linda Mwananchi Movement associated with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, under the political patronage of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The statement further noted that the coalition aimed to provide an alternative political platform to the current Kenya Kwanza administration and the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) led by former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.

According to the purported statement, the coalition would focus on economic recovery, institutional renewal and national unity while embarking on a nationwide grassroots mobilisation campaign centred on governance, economic empowerment, youth employment, devolution and constitutionalism.

“Kenya’s future cannot be confined to a contest between two political camps that continue to deepen division. We are building a broad movement that places citizens, good governance and economic transformation at the centre of national leadership,” the disputed statement read in part.

It further claimed that former President Uhuru Kenyatta had welcomed the alleged partnership, describing it as an opportunity to unite experienced leaders with a new generation of political voices committed to safeguarding Kenya’s democratic future.

Additionally, the statement asserted that the purported coalition would remain open to working with other political parties, civil society organisations, professionals, faith-based groups and young people, while establishing a joint secretariat to coordinate political activities, policy development and grassroots engagement before unveiling a common manifesto and leadership structure.

However, the circulating document has been prominently stamped “fake”, indicating that it is not an authentic communication from either the Jubilee Party or the Linda Mwananchi Movement.
