The movement, which has been linked to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and several politicians who share similar views, has recently intensified political meetings across different parts of the country while criticizing existing political alliances.
According to Sifuna, several calculated strategies have allegedly been deployed to slow the movement’s momentum and reduce its appeal among the public.
He said the group has faced repeated challenges as it attempts to expand its grassroots presence and mobilize support across the country.
One of the most visible challenges has been the disruption of political rallies organized by the movement.
Leaders claim that some of their gatherings have encountered unexpected obstacles and disturbances, which they believe are deliberate attempts to discourage supporters and weaken the campaign’s expansion.
Sifuna also dismissed claims circulating in political circles that he demanded billions of shillings to abandon the movement. He described the allegations as propaganda aimed at damaging his credibility and undermining the campaign.
According to him, the initiative is motivated by public interest and cannot be derailed by financial inducements or intimidation.
Organizers have further raised concerns about alleged interference with their digital strategies. Supporters had planned to create online platforms and mobile communication channels to coordinate activities, mobilize supporters and collect donations.
However, the movement claims that these efforts have faced repeated setbacks, making it harder to communicate effectively with followers.
Another controversy emerged after attempts were reportedly made to register a political party using the same name as the movement.
Leaders fear this could confuse supporters and allow individuals to solicit funds using the movement’s identity without authorization. Complaints have already been filed with authorities responsible for political party registration.
Political analysts say the developments highlight growing divisions within the opposition as attention gradually shifts toward the 2027 general election.
Despite the challenges, some observers believe the resistance faced by the movement could actually boost its popularity, particularly among younger voters who are increasingly drawn to grassroots political initiatives.
