Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna will contest the presidency on a United Democratic Party (UDP) ticket in the upcoming 2027 General Elections, according to Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya.

Natembeya cleared the air during a local radio interview on Thursday, September 24, putting to rest persistent speculation that the senator lacked a clear political vehicle amid alleged friction within the Linda Mwananchi Movement.

The Trans Nzoia county boss confirmed that Sifuna plans to use the UDP, a political outfit originally associated with former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, following a setback at the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP). The registrar previously rejected the movement’s application to formally rebrand the entity into the Ukombozi People’s Party (UPP).

NAIROBI,Kenya Sep 21 – Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya have suffered a setback in their efforts to establish Ukombozi People’s Party as the political vehicle for the Linda Mwananchi movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The Registrar of Political Parties has rejected a proposal by the United Democratic Party (UDP) to change its name to Ukombozi People’s Party (UPP), saying the proposed name is too similar to another political outfit whose name had already been reserved.

In a letter dated September 8, Registrar of Political Parties John Lorionokou told lawyers representing UDP that the office had “not approved or authorised” the use of the name Ukombozi People’s Party by the party.
