Amisi Says Babu Owino Confirmed His Account
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has reignited debate surrounding the political direction of the Linda Mwananchi movement after claiming he was pushed out of its WhatsApp groups.
Amisi was responding to Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, who discussed how leaders associated with the movement explored different options for a political party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Reacting to Owino’s account, Amisi said he felt vindicated by the revelations.
“I knew one day the truth shall come out. I am now vindicated,” Amisi said.
Dispute Over Political Vehicle
According to Amisi, his Political Movement party had initially been established to provide an electoral platform for Linda Mwananchi.
He thanked Owino for what he described as confirmation of that position.
Amisi, however, alleged that the situation later changed after other individuals became involved in the movement.
He claimed that the developments affected Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s position within the initiative and eventually resulted in Amisi being removed from WhatsApp groups associated with Linda Mwananchi.
Claims His Party Was Targeted
The Saboti MP further alleged that his party was subsequently portrayed negatively, with opponents allegedly referring to it as a “mole” and “wheelbarrow” party.
He suggested that the labels were intended to discourage supporters from backing the party as the movement’s political vehicle.
Amisi maintained that despite the disagreements, he had not abandoned what he considers a broader generational political mission.
Amisi Maintains His Political Position
In his response, the MP invoked his faith while insisting that the political cause he supports would ultimately succeed.
He described the movement as part of what he called a push for a “fourth liberation” and vowed to remain committed to the cause.
The claims come as political formations and leaders continue positioning themselves ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election, with questions over alliances, parties and electoral vehicles likely to remain central to political discussions.
With political alliances already beginning to take shape ahead of 2027, the question remains: who will control the political vehicles that carry Kenya’s next generation of leaders to the ballot?
