The Vihiga Senator also revealed that the Linda Mwananchi movement will present Sifuna as its preferred presidential candidate during negotiations with the wider opposition.
He stated that as Linda Mwananchi, they are going to present Edwin Sifuna as their presidential candidate.
He acknowledged that his friend Orengo has also made a declaration which they respect, and said that at the right time, they will process those requests, but for now their presidential candidate is Edwin Sifuna.
Further, Senator Osotsi said Sifuna should be on the opposition presidential ticket if the opposition wants to win the 2027 General Election.
He argued that Sifuna’s approval ratings have risen significantly and that the Nairobi Senator is now closing the gap on President William Ruto.
Osotsi said that for the opposition to have a quick win in the 2027 election, Edwin Sifuna has to be on the ticket, adding that when one looks at the ratings, he has risen from zero and is closing the gap on William Ruto.
