The Linda Mwananchi Movement's National Delegates Convention (NDC) concluded without formally ratifying Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as party leader or endorsing him as its presidential flagbearer for the 2027 General Election.
Other proposed officials, including Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza and former Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo, were also not confirmed in the resolutions announced after the convention.
The meeting, held behind closed doors at DNM Park in Nairobi on Friday, November 13, focused primarily on formalising the transformation of The Equitable Party (TEP) into the Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM).

This was despite an earlier notice indicating that ratification of the proposed leadership structure would form part of the NDC's agenda. The proposed appointments had been announced on October 30, with Sifuna designated as party leader and Natembeya assigned to head his presidential campaign. Their appointments were subject to approval by the delegates.
