Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has reignited debate within the opposition after claiming that Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya could become the downfall of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.
Amisi’s remarks come at a time when political differences surrounding the Linda Mwananchi movement have continued to attract attention, with several leaders taking different positions on its direction and leadership.
According to Amisi, Natembeya’s involvement in the political affairs surrounding Sifuna is contributing to disagreements within the movement.
He has accused the governor of playing a role in the wrangles that have emerged as opposition leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The latest comments are notable because Amisi and Sifuna previously worked closely in the political space. Amisi had also publicly defended Sifuna’s presidential ambitions, arguing that lack of money should not prevent him from seeking the presidency.
However, relations have since changed, with Amisi distancing himself from the Linda Mwananchi movement and launching the People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM).
He has also held political engagements with Natembeya, whose Tawe movement has gained attention in Western Kenya.
Natembeya and Sifuna have previously worked together politically, with the governor openly associating himself with Sifuna’s political agenda.
This relationship has now become a subject of debate as different leaders seek to shape the opposition’s strategy ahead of 2027.
Amisi’s latest statement adds another layer to the growing political contest over Sifuna’s future and the direction of the wider opposition movement.
The remarks are likely to generate further discussion among supporters of Sifuna, Natembeya and other emerging political formations as preparations for the 2027 elections intensify.
