Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide.

Ruto does not need a Kalonzo. He needs someone who can say "Rusha hiyo teargas Kubaf!!"🔥🔥🤣🤣
One of the most memorable guests on #CitizenExplainer has been one @edwinsifuna. As the host, Senje @YvonneOkwara signed off from @citizentvkenya on the same Explainer, those interviews will be the most remembered ones in that news program's history.

Do you know how many of us Luos have sacrificed everything to support Sifuna and LMM?
Usifanye nikumark. Put your shit together and stop this nonsense. We call it political adolescence...
Awacho ayweyo!
There seems to be an uncomfortable pattern of sidelining and undermining Luo voices within Linda Mwananchi by individuals entrusted with leadership in the movement.
I received an audio recording of a meeting in which deeply troubling and undermining remarks were made. Soon afterwards, I alongside others, had been removed from various official groups with zero explanation.
We cannot champion inclusion in public while practicing the exact opposite internally.
This tendency deserves honest scrutiny!

There has been a lot of conversation about Parliament and the livestreaming of election results. So, what exactly is happening?
-In 2024, the Senate passed the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, which proposed changes to Section 39 of the Elections Act. This section deals with how election results are determined, transmitted and declared.
-Clause 22 of the Senate's Bill proposed replacing the existing Section 39. In the proposed replacement, the specific requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for livestreaming results announced at polling stations was missing.
-Livestreaming allows Kenyans to watch results being announced at polling stations in real time. It gives the public another way to follow the process and compare what is announced with the results transmitted and published.
-Electronic transmission of results is important, but it is not the same as livestreaming. One sends results electronically; the other allows the public to watch the announcement as it happens.
-On 22 October 2026, the National Assembly deleted Clause 22 altogether. In its official clarification, Parliament said this preserved the existing Section 39, including the requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for livestreaming results announced at polling stations.
-According to the National Assembly's clarification, the provision remains under the version passed by the House. However, the Bill must still go through the remaining legislative process before it becomes law.
Transparency must be built into the electoral process, not left to assumptions.
Kenyans must also be able to follow how votes are counted, how results are verified and how the final outcome is declared.
As we approach the 2027 General Election, we must pay attention to the laws governing our elections and demand clarity whenever changes are proposed.
An informed public is an essential part of an accountable democracy. #VIP

As the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 29 of 2024) now moves to the Senate (for the house to either agree with or reject the National Assembly amendments), let's unpack the proposals of the Bill, the amendments adopted in both Houses and what they mean.(thread)
1. Will elections be live-streamed?
Clause 22 of the removes the express/mandatory requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for live-streaming results at the polling station.
Note: this is NOT to be conflated with live broadcasting by media houses and independent sources.
IEBC is still required to transmit election results i.e sending election results to management centers and publishing official results form online.
The concern is that this doesn't meet the standard of timely, sufficient transparency and public oversight.

We’ve been tracking the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No. 29 of 2024). Here’s a look back at its journey (thread).
1. The Bill, sponsored by the Majority Leader Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot and the Minority Leader, Sen. Stewart Madzayo, was read a first time on 8th July 2024.

The false and malicious claim that Parliament has amended the Elections Act to bar the live streaming of election results is a carefully calculated and deliberate propaganda campaign. Its sole purpose is to sow despair, hopelessness and a sense of helplessness among voters by creating the impression that the elections will be rigged irrespective of the safeguards in law. Kenyans are therefore urged to reject this manufactured narrative and to remain confident that we shall defeat Kasongo no matter what.
Those disseminating the false and misleading claim that Parliament has amended the Elections Act to bar live streaming of election results are advised to desist forthwith.
Section 39 of the Elections Act, Cap. 7 of the Laws of Kenya, has not been amended in any manner that prohibits or restricts the live streaming or public transmission of election results. No such amendment has been passed by Parliament, and none is currently in force.
The position of the law remains unchanged.
An advocate of the High Court, willfully participating in an illegality in the name of "giving back".
Then acts surprised when the victim of her illegality lands in a police cell.
The personification of Mediocrity!
Karen Nyamu: I recently tried to help a very staunch campaigner of mine join the police force. Tukakarabati (we forged) a form 4 certificate.
She went to Kiganjo for training, but after investigations, she was arrested for forgery alongside 17 others.

When it is said that No weapon formed against @edwinsifuna and @LindaMwananchi_ Shall prosper.
These are some of those weapons. Together with the purported leader of the Linda Party who has re-emerged.
The Equitable Party has & had a Party Constitution before Edwin Sifuna.

Hizi ng’ombe @wil_sonn1 @KevinKaishaMp @WanjuguGM @Wambuib4sky ndio admin wa hiyo group inajiita SODF. Kazi yao ni kupiganisha Sifuna na Babu supporters ndio rally za Linda Mwananchi zianze kuwa na vurugu from within. Watu wajinga sana hawa working for Kasongo.
These are the same idiots who come to platforms like X purporting to defend @edwinsifuna from non existent rivalries with @HEBabuOwino and other Opposition leaders.
It would be better for these "Defenders" to join the Tutam clique, since their reasoning is uniquely similar.
You are clearly one who gets uncomfortable when personalized posters of the tours are done.
@HEBabuOwino has been part of the Linda Mwananchi Party journey since its inception. He has said he supports Senator Sifuna for President.
There is no conflict between them.

Upon my return from the United States, I welcomed the Linda Mwananchi leadership, led by Senator @edwinsifuna , to the Wamunyoro residence.
We held a candid and constructive discussion on the liberation of our country and the formation of the Sixth Administration.
Wamunyoro has long been a venue for consequential political consultations and deliberations that have helped shape a brighter future for our great country.
Today was such a day.
