Faith Odhiambo Joins Sifuna and Babu Owino in Linda Mwananchi Movement

Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo has joined the Linda Mwananchi movement.

A political platform which is led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, this move that has sparked fresh speculation about her possible entry into elective politics ahead of the 2027 General Election.

This development was confirmed on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, when Sifuna publicly welcomed Odhiambo through his social media platforms.

In his message, he wrote, “Full parade to welcome Madam President.” Welcome to Linda Mwananchi,” signalling her formal association with the political movement.

Her entry was also acknowledged by Kitutu Chache South Member of Parliament Anthony Kibagendi.

Kibagendi described her inclusion as a significant boost to the movement’s profile and credibility among professionals and governance advocates.

“Welcome aboard Linda Mwananchi Wakili Faith Odhiambo. The team continues to grow bigger, stronger and more formidable every day,” Pauline Njoroge wrote on X.

Faith Odhiambo Rise to Fame

Odhiambo, who rose to national prominence during her tenure at the helm of LSK, has in recent years become a visible public voice on constitutionalism, justice, and governance accountability.

She gained a lot of attention for her legal advocacy during the Gen Z protests of 2024 and 2025.

Odhiambo frequently represented and defended the demonstrators in court, positioning herself as a strong defender of civil rights.

Her association with Linda Mwananchi is being interpreted by observers as a possible transition from legal practice and advocacy into mainstream politics.

However, neither Faith nor the movement’s leadership has confirmed any intention by her to contest for political office in the upcoming election cycle.

Linda Mwananchi Movement

The movement has recently intensified its public engagements across the country, holding rallies in several regions as part of its mobilisation strategy.

Its most recent events in Machakos Town and Mlolongo attracted large crowds and renewed attention to its political messaging.

Linda Mwananchi has also recently announced a major rally scheduled for June 14, in Thika, where supporters are expected to gather in large numbers.
