The Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) has announced that its National Delegates Conference (NDC), scheduled for Friday, November 13, will be held behind closed doors, with journalists barred from attending.

The movement's head of communication, Pauline Njoroge, confirmed that the media would not be permitted to cover the proceedings, which are expected to formalise the political outfit's transition from The Equitable Party (TEP) to the Linda Mwananchi Movement.

The conference will therefore be restricted to authorised party delegates drawn from members who were registered under TEP by the time the meeting's notice was issued.

The organisers have also kept the venue confidential, declining to disclose where the delegates will gather on Friday.

In a separate communication to supporters, the movement explained that counties had been allocated specific numbers of delegates based on their registered membership, warning that the designated quotas must be followed.

The party described the gathering as a statutory requirement for completing the legal and administrative processes involved in its transition.

The conference comes amid internal disputes over the proposed transition, with some party members challenging the preparations before the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT).
