The political temperature around Linda Mwananchi is rising, and a new message from Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka could alter the conversation surrounding Edwin Sifuna and Babu Owino.

“Sifuna and Babu refuse to be divided,” Kalonzo said, signaling that the relationship between the two leaders may be more resilient than recent political developments have suggested.
His remarks come amid growing debate over Linda Mwananchi’s leadership, its political vehicle and the direction of its 2027 presidential campaign. Recent reports have indicated disagreements over the party through which Sifuna could pursue the presidency, with competing positions emerging within the movement.
Babu, however, has repeatedly rejected claims of a political fallout with Sifuna. On September 15, he said their ambitions were different but not necessarily conflicting, maintaining that he supports Sifuna’s presidential bid while concentrating on his own Nairobi gubernatorial ambitions.
The latest development could therefore strengthen efforts by senior opposition figures to prevent disagreements from growing into a full political split.
Kalonzo’s intervention is particularly significant because the opposition landscape remains fluid, with several leaders positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 election.
The question now is whether the unity between Sifuna and Babu can withstand the competing ambitions and organisational disagreements surrounding Linda Mwananchi.
For supporters watching closely, Kalonzo’s words have added another layer of suspense to an already unpredictable political contest.
