Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gisairo, elected on an ODM ticket in 2022 and once counted among the pioneer supporters of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi movement, has publicly aligned himself with Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang'i, raising fresh questions about the movement's cohesion ahead of the 2027 general election.
Gisairo posted on Facebook that he joined Matiang'i at Ensoko Grounds in Esise Ward for the funeral of John Mboga Nyaboga, whom he described as a community leader whose "remarkable legacy of service and dedication" would inspire generations. A week before that appearance, he had written that "as the Abagusii community, we must stick together in supporting" Matiang'i, adding that "through unity, we shall succeed." His posts stop short of formally withdrawing from Linda Mwananchi, but they mark a clear shift in focus.

Gisairo was among the MPs listed on the Linda Mwananchi team and was expected at Sifuna's Kitengela rally alongside Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi. Kibagendi has since moved firmly behind Matiang'i.
