Edwin Sifuna Unveils The Equitable Party Ahead of 2027 Elections

The Equitable Party (TEP) has been officially launched as a political platform led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, marking a significant development in the political landscape as Kenya approaches the 2027 General Election.

Sifuna, who has been named the interim leader and presidential candidate of TEP, aims to use this new party to promote his vision of a more equitable Kenya. The party was fully registered on March 25, 2022, and is seen as a strategic move following Sifuna's recent ouster as the Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in February 2026.

Edwin Sifuna is a prominent figure in Kenyan politics, known for his articulate representation of Nairobi and his active role in the ODM party until his recent leadership change. His political journey has been characterized by a commitment to social justice and equity, making him a notable voice among the youth and progressive movements in Kenya.

The announcement of TEP took place during an event in Nairobi on October 4, 2026, which was attended by various political figures, including Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya. This gathering highlights the growing support for Sifuna's new political venture and the potential alliances he may form as he prepares for the upcoming elections. The restructuring of TEP under Sifuna's leadership is intended to attract leaders and political formations that align with the party's ideals, further solidifying his position in the political arena.
