Sifuna’s New Party Website Goes Down Hours After 2027 Launch

NAIROBI, Kenya — Barely hours after Nairobi County Senator Edwin Sifuna officially launched The Equitable Party (TEP) as his political vehicle for the 2027 presidential race, supporters and curious Kenyans were met with unexpected technical glitches as the party’s online registration portal suddenly crashed.

Sifuna announced the formation of TEP during a high-profile political gathering, unveiling the green-and-yellow-themed party alongside key allies from the Linda Mwananchi Movement.

Declaring himself ready to take on the presidency in 2027, the lawmaker took to his official social media handles to urge Kenyans to join the party in massive numbers, sharing a registration link to facilitate immediate member sign-ups.

However, the political excitement quickly morphed into confusion when thousands of prospective members attempting to access the site were met with error messages and unresponsive pages. Within hours of the party’s public unveiling, the portal had become entirely inaccessible.

The sudden outage sparked widespread speculation across Kenyan social media platforms.

Questions mounted as to whether the web infrastructure buckled under an overwhelming surge of traffic from citizens eager to register, or if the digital platform had fallen victim to cyber interference.

Supporters raised concerns over potential sabotage by state operatives aimed at derailing the senator’s momentum, while technical observers suggested the crash was simply a result of unoptimized server capacity failing to handle peak real-time visitors.

Neither Sifuna nor TEP’s communications team has issued a formal statement addressing the root cause of the downtime, leaving political enthusiasts debating whether the glitch reflects massive organic demand or early political friction ahead of 2027.
