Linda Mwananchi offers leadership position to Aisha Jumwa The move underscores the opposition’s efforts to rebuild its foothold at the Coast. Politics 16 min ago

Her possible return to the opposition would mark a significant political shift in the Coast region, where UDA has worked to consolidate support since taking power.

Mr Orengo, who is also Siaya Governor, said he respected Ms Jumwa’s decision to consult before declaring her next political move but insisted that the movement’s doors remained open.

Linda Mwananchi, the outfit associated with Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna and Siaya Governor James Orengo, has opened negotiations with former Gender Cabinet Secretary Ms Aisha Jumwa, offering her a senior leadership position should she join the opposition movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.
