Sifuna warns youth against re-electing Ruto, says it would lock them out of 2032

Speaking on Wednesday, November 11, during a press conference where the movement received defectors from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in Laikipia County, Sifuna challenged young people to reconsider their political choices ahead of the next General Election.

"Nataka kuwaambia vijana wote mkichagua Ruto tena hakuna kijana atakuwa kiongozi 2032," Sifuna said.

Sifuna also criticised the government's development promises, singling out the long-delayed Nanyuki-Doldol road project in Laikipia County.

He accused successive political promises surrounding the road of failing to translate into tangible development, while pledging to personally champion its construction.

"Barabara ya kutoka Nanyuki kwenda Doldol tumesikia kwa miaka nyingi. Saa hii msiongee na Ruto, mimi nitakuja nitengeneze," he said.

The LMM leader further urged Kenyans to prioritise their lives and safety over political promises of infrastructure development.

"If you are not alive, hata barabara ya Doldol ikijengwa haitakusaidia," he remarked.

Sifuna maintained that political leaders could secure electoral victories by speaking truthfully to voters rather than relying on promises.

He also announced plans to visit Laikipia County as part of efforts to demonstrate the movement's growing political presence.

"Tutakuja Laikipia ili kuonyesha chama chetu kiko imara," he said.

Meanwhile, LMM Deputy Party Leader Faith Odhiambo called on young people to take an active role in shaping the country's political future, insisting that their time to lead had arrived.

"Vijana wakati wetu ni sasa. Tunasema kwa hii serikali yetu hatutaruhusu vijana kuuliwa na serikali," Odhiambo said.

Fellow Deputy Party Leader Kawira Mwangaza announced that the movement intends to field candidates across the country, promising a transparent nomination process.

"Kama Linda Mwananchi tutasimamisha candidates kila mahali Kenya. Nominations zitakuwa free and fair," Mwangaza said.

She also praised Sifuna, describing him as "Mr. Clean."

LMM Secretary General Caroli Omondi, meanwhile, rallied supporters behind Sifuna, portraying him as a political figure carrying forward the spirit of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

"Huyu Sifuna ndiye ako na spirit ya Baba sasa. Msiogope. Sisi ndiyo tutawalinda," Omondi said.

He further assured supporters that the movement would protect their constituencies as it seeks to expand its political influence across the country.
