Leaders allied to the Linda Mwananchi faction have urged Kenyans to turn out in large numbers for planned demonstrations set for late June 2026, describing the three-day action as a defining moment in their campaign for political transformation.
Speaking during a church service in Nakuru County, Siaya Governor James Orengo said the protests are intended to honour young people who lost their lives during the 2024 Gen Z-led demonstrations, while also advancing calls for governance reforms.
“June 25 is coming, and we all remember Gen Zs lost lives for this country. So, as Linda Mwananchi, we are asking you, to make this country ungovernable,” Orengo told the congregation.
He maintained that the movement remains resolute despite potential risks, emphasizing its commitment to what he described as a broader struggle for national change.
“We do not fear any prison, we do not fear death. We do not fear anything but fear itself. The hour has come and the hour is now,” he added.
Orengo reiterated his belief that the political tide is shifting toward a citizen-led formation, expressing confidence that the movement will shape the country’s next leadership.

“I am asking you, let us make this country ungovernable from June 2026. Nina hakika kwamba the next government in this country will be formed by the Linda Mwananchi,” he said.
The governor also praised leaders within the faction, including Babu Owino, Edwin Sifuna, Caleb Amisi and Godfrey Osotsi, stating their track record gives the group confidence heading into future political contests.
Meanwhile, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna said their engagement in Nakuru was part of a wider outreach effort focused on governance, human rights, and accountability.
“Many are asking what we are doing in Nakuru, this country can have good leadership, one that respects human rights,” Sifuna said.
He added that development should go hand in hand with the protection of fundamental freedoms, insisting the movement will continue to push its agenda nationwide.
