Linda Mwananchi embraces ‘Niko Kadi’ movement
By Ndiritu Wanjiru, March 29, 2026The Linda Mwananchi faction of the Orange Democratic Movement Party has called on Kenyans to register as voters to take part in the forthcoming general election slated for 2027.
In a move seen to embrace the trending ‘Niko kadi’ slogan, the leaders have said that the only way to elect good governance into leadership is to ensure that citizens register in large numbers as voters.
Speaking at a public rally in Tononoka Grounds in Mombasa County on Sunday, March 29, 2026, the leaders led by Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino have called on the young people to register as voters to ensure that the current regime under President William Ruto does not get back to power in the 2027 term, terming it ‘oppressive’ and responsible for the challenges that the Kenyans are facing.
“Ili mabadiliko iwe hii Kenya, ni lazima tujisajili kama wapiga kura. Mimi niko kadi. Kura yako itakupatia afya bora, sio bora afya. Tuko na seriklali ya upuzi na usherati, kwahivyo naomba mchukue kura ili Ruto aende nyumbani asubuhi,” Babu said.
On the other hand, Siaya Governor James Orengo urged supporters at Tononoka Grounds to start organising early for the 2027 General Election, stressing the importance of voter readiness and vigilance.
“Winning an election in 2027 starts now. I want you to prepare yourselves – be ready, be registered,” Orengo said.
Orengo questioned whether the attendees had voter cards describing the upcoming election as a decisive moment for Kenya, promising a new political direction.
“This time around in 2027, there will be no stealing of votes. We will show up everywhere in Mombasa, Nakuru, Nairobi, Kisumu, and Turkana to ensure the will of the people is respected,” Orengo added.
Sifuna on Linda Mwananchi numbers
Speaking during the event, Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna, on his part, has said that the next course of action that the Linda Mwananchi group is going to take politically will be determined by the number of people who will have registered under the “Sisi ndio Sifuna” movement.
Sifuna also unveiled a digital registration initiative linked to the Linda Mwananchi movement, encouraging attendees to sign up online to help quantify support ahead of future political activities.
“We want you to go online and register so we know how many we are. There is a number we are waiting to reach, and once we get there, we will announce our next steps,” Sifuna said.
