Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has been named the party leader-designate of the Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM), with Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya appointed to head its presidential campaign.
The appointments were announced Friday during the official launch of the movement, which is seeking to establish its leadership ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a notice issued by the movement's communication head Pauline Njoroge, Sifuna will be deputised by former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza, Faith Odhiambo and Patrick Makau, while a fourth deputy party leader position has been reserved for the Coast region.
"Their appointments are subject to approval by the movement's National Delegates Convention (NDC) scheduled for November 13, 2026," said Njoroge.
Siaya Senator Godfrey Osotsi has been named chairperson-designate, with former Makadara MP Reuben Ndolo appointed vice-chairperson. A second vice-chairperson position has also been reserved for the Coast region.
Former Rarieda MP Caroli Omondi will serve as secretary general, deputised by Pauline Njoroge, who will also head the movement's communication function.
Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka has been appointed treasurer, with Abigael Gikonyo as deputy treasurer.
Carey Karani will serve as organising secretary, deputised by Wilberforce Oundo.
The movement has also appointed Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale as secretary for political affairs and campaigns, while Fredah Onduso will oversee youth affairs.
Francy Kadide has been named secretary for legal affairs, with Jack Wamboka taking charge of public policy and economic affairs.
Other appointments include Dr Gilbert Shanga as secretary for international affairs, Dr Eunice Juma as secretary for diaspora affairs and Caroline Mayunzu as secretary for women's affairs.
Barbara Malowa will head the National Elections Board, while Torome Nalengoyo has been appointed secretary for minority affairs.
Natembeya will chair the party trustees and lead the presidential campaign, with Odhiambo serving as his deputy in the campaign role.
The announcement establishes the movement's proposed leadership structure as its members prepare for the delegates' convention, where the appointments will be considered for approval.
The reservation of positions for the Coast region in both the deputy party leadership and vice-chairperson roles signals an effort to accommodate regional representation within the movement's proposed top leadership.
The launch comes as political formations begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections, with party structures and leadership arrangements expected to shape emerging alliances and campaign strategies.
