Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has dismissed remarks by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi questioning whether newly formed political parties can successfully compete for the country’s top leadership position, saying it is possible to build a national movement and win the support of Kenyans within a short period.
Speaking during a church service in Nairobi, Sifuna said the Linda Mwananchi movement is seeking to challenge traditional approaches to politics by demonstrating that leadership can be achieved by prioritising the interests of ordinary Kenyans.
“There are people telling us that it is impossible to create a new political party, impossible to travel across the whole country, and impossible to win the hearts of Kenyans within less than ten months and have them give us the leadership of Kenya,” Sifuna said.
