Former MP Wafula Wamunyinyi quits DAP-K, joins Linda Mwananchi
Former Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi has announced his departure from the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K).
In a statement on Tuesday night, October 20, Wamunyinyi said he has joined Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s Linda Mwananchi movement.
The former MP said his decision followed long nights of reflection and consultations with members of the public.
“After long nights of reflection and listening to the ground, I have decided to drop my position as Deputy Party Leader of DAP-K and take my energy to walk side by side with my brother, the voice of the people, Sen. Edwin Sifuna,” read the statement.
Wamunyinyi explained that he chose to align himself with Senator Sifuna because his political messaging resonated with ordinary Kenyans, including small-scale traders, boda boda operators, unemployed youth and farmers.

“Why Sifuna? Because Sifuna is not speaking the language of boardrooms; he is speaking the language of mama mboga, boda boda, the jobless youth and the forgotten farmer. That is the Linda Mwananchi spirit,” he stated.
Further, Wamunyinyi said he reached out to the DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa and urged him to support Sifuna.
The Former Kanduyi lawmaker argued that opposition leaders need to work together rather than divide their support ahead of the 2027 General election.
“I have not left in anger. In fact, I have reached out to my Party Leader, my brother Eugene Wamalwa, and told him plainly, come, let us go and support Sifuna.
“History will not forgive us if we scatter the opposition vote while Mwananchi is suffering. We cannot go into 2027 divided,” Wamunyinyi added.
