Mike Sonko joins Linda Mwananchi for the mega rally in Homa Bay
National Economic Development Party (NEDP) leader Mike Sonko has given indications he could join the Linda Mwananchi faction and be part of its agenda against President William Ruto.
The former Nairobi governor is expected at the podium as the group will be pitching its camp in Homa Bay on Sunday, August 16.
Saturday evening, August 15, Sonko was captured with Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna boarding a flight to Homa Bay.
Without explaining the reason behind his anticipated presence at the rally, Sonko captioned a video of him and Sifuna at the airport as;
“Homa Bay, we are coming,” Sonko stated.

Sonko is believed to be strategising for a comeback in elective politics after being locked out of the 2022 general election.
He had sought to contest the Mombasa governorship, but his bid got blocked due to his impeachment saga.
Sonko was impeached as Nairobi governor in 2020, having presided over City Hall for three years.
Meanwhile, his party, NEDP, is actively wooing aspirants ahead of the 2027 vote, presenting itself as a national platform for candidates.
NEDP’s development has signalled a significant shift for Sonko, who previously served as Nairobi’s first senator between 2013 and 2017, and second governor after winning on a Jubilee Party ticket in 2017, only to be impeached three years later.
