Must be hard being Sifuna. The old guard want him to wait for them to get power first. His compatriots want his popularity but they want him to fail. His juniors see him as a stumbling block to their 2032 dream. Huyu jamaa itabidi tumuombee sana. God has a good plan for him
I get the feeling that some people wanted to own Sifuna so they can benefit from his popularity and win their seats but by isolating him, they ensure he does not win the Presidency thereby setting themselves up for 2032 as the new Sifuna. Politics of self interest
"Whatever Babu Owino has done with coming up with his party is something that is self-centered and something that is very selfish"~ Lawyer Adrian Oluoch
Okiya Omtatah is in court dealing with IEBC head on.
H.E Sifuna is in senate fighting for sugarcane farmers.
Your favourite politicians are busy in TUTAM rallies dishing out handouts and empty promises.
Bwana know your leaders mapema.
Abbie Zuena, politics in Kenya can make you laugh until you forget the original problem. 😂
Babu Owino is the one who brought you to Linda Mwananchi and introduced you to Edwin Sifuna.
Then somehow, your biggest “crime” became being loyal to Sifuna instead of remaining loyal to Babu. 😂
Boss, you introduced her to Sifuna, not to a lifetime political marriage certificate.
What kind of jealousy is this? 😂
If I introduce you to my friend and you become closer to my friend than you are to me, I don't start behaving like I have lost a girlfriend. I simply accept that friendship has its own chemistry.
Politics should not be about political ownership.
Babu, relax. You introduced people to Sifuna. You cannot invoice them for lifelong loyalty to you. 😂
Let people choose who they believe in.
The people are not anybody's property.
When Kalonzo Musyoka’s people tried their online smear campaign against Edwin Sifuna, they thought they had found an easy target. They were wrong. We rose in numbers and dismantled their nonsense within hours.
Then the Gachagua camp tried to demean Sifuna and his supporters. We gave them a political reality check they will not forget. Then came the Orengo bloggers, armed with the usual recycled propaganda and political rubbish. We tore their narrative apart and sent them back to the drawing board.
Then came Babu Owino on Sunday at the Linda Mwananchi rally. Babu tried to play games with Sifuna and clearly underestimated the people standing behind him.
What followed was political fire. Sifuna’s supporters came down on that stunt with such force that Babu could not simply brush it aside.
The pressure became impossible to ignore, and today he has been forced to come out and declare that he supports H.E. Edwin Watenya Sifuna for President 100 percent. He has even gone out of his way to say that he has no problem with the incoming President.
Let that sink in.
This is what happens when politicians mistake a movement for a personal playground. You test the movement, the movement tests you back.
Babu thought he could throw a political punch at Sifuna and walk away smiling. Instead, he discovered that Sifuna has built a support base that is politically alert, vocal and unwilling to be treated like a collection of political extras.
The attempted joke has now ended with a public clarification. Politics has a brutal way of teaching people the difference between confidence and miscalculation.
And this is not the first time. Kalonzo’s people tried it. Gachagua’s people tried it. Orengo’s bloggers tried it. Babu tried it. Every time, the same lesson has emerged: Sifuna is not politically defenceless.
We are no longer some quiet audience waiting for politicians to decide our future.
We are a political force, and anyone who thinks they can manufacture lies about Sifuna, insult his supporters or deliberately distort the movement’s agenda without being challenged is living in yesterday’s Kenya.
We will expose the propaganda. We will challenge the lies. We will dismantle the political games. And we will do it loudly enough that nobody can pretend they didn't hear us.
But make no mistake about the bigger picture. We are not building this movement to win Twitter arguments.
We are not here to crown Babu, protect Kalonzo, rehabilitate Gachagua or settle the political ambitions of individual politicians.
We have one destination: State House.
That is why the political establishment should stop underestimating this movement. The people behind Sifuna are not looking for permission to participate in Kenya’s political future. We are coming to claim our space at the table and, ultimately, at the ballot box.
We call ourselves the Sifuna Online Defence Force — S.O.D.F. And our job is simple: defend our candidate, destroy dishonest narratives with facts and arguments, and make sure political opportunists do not hijack a national movement for their own ambitions.
So let the bloggers blog. Let the political surrogates shout. Let the desperate spin doctors manufacture their next narrative.
We are watching.
And to anyone still tempted to underestimate Edwin Watenya Sifuna, take a good look at what happened after Sunday.
Babu has spoken.
100 percent.
Sometimes political reality has a way of forcing people to clarify themselves.
Stay guided.
Kenyans will shape Linda Mwananchi the way they want and they will not be shaped according to how any individual wants.
Kenyans have repeatedly spelled out what they want and the culture they want to end.
Any attempts to take them back to what they don't want will be repelled.
As we start the day on a very high note, here is a reminder of Linda Mwananchi’s agenda.
Constitutionalism ni Agenda, Kama hujui, uko slow kama our Ph.D collective embarrassment.
