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).
