Linda Mwananchi Movement has warned of daily protests if its attempt to register as a political party is rejected, according to local reports. Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi claimed that the government is deliberately obstructing the movement’s registration process, raising concerns about political freedoms (eastleighvoice.co.ke).
The movement’s leader, Linda Mwananchi, has vowed to stage daily demonstrations outside the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) until the issue is resolved. This threat was made during the Linda Mwananchi Meet the People tour in Busia County on August 7, 2026, where Osotsi expressed frustration over the stalled registration process (peopledaily.digital).
The situation highlights growing tensions between political groups and the authorities over transparency and accountability. Osotsi accused officials of making it difficult for the movement to gain formal recognition, which he says is essential for legitimate political participation.
The ORPP has not yet commented on the allegations, but the movement’s stance reflects broader concerns about political repression in the region. (peopledaily.digital)
