Sifuna’s convoy snaked its way from All Saints Cathedral, where he attended a church service, through Marikiti, Burma and Gikomba markets before winding up at Jacaranda grounds for a major political rally.
The team also made stopovers at Stage 17, Bee Centre and Manyanja before supporters proceeded along Jogoo Road towards Jacaranda grounds.
The rally at Jacaranda marked the climax of the day, with Sifuna using the platform to rally Nairobi residents behind his 2027 presidential bid.
Addressing supporters at Marikiti market, the senator said the political feedback he has received during his countrywide tours points to growing support for his presidential ambitions.
The senator told residents that people from different parts of the country had been urging him to take up a bigger political role, in what appeared to be a fresh signal of his intention to seek the presidency.
“I want to tell Nairobi, other parts of the country want to give me another job. Do you know the job they want me to take?” Sifuna asked. “People in other parts want to take me to a certain job. Do you also want me to take that job?”
Sifuna said the Ruto administration should be limited to one term, declaring that its time in power was coming to an end.
“This administration should get one term, their time is up,” he said.
However, the senator acknowledged that defeating Ruto would require a united opposition, calling for cooperation between him, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and other opposition leaders.
“It will not be easy. We must walk together with Kalonzo Musyoka and Rigathi Gachagua and all other leaders in the opposition. Let us walk together,” Sifuna said.
The senator also thanked Nairobi residents for electing him to the Senate, saying the position had provided him with a platform to build a national political profile.
“Because you elected me as senator, I am now known across the country. I thank you for that opportunity you gave me,” Sifuna said.
Also in the convoy were MPs Dan Mwashako (Wundanyi), Jack Wamboka (Bumula), Caroli Omondi (Suba South), former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza, Kisii Senator Richard Onyoka, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, Siaya Governor James Orengo and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya.
Orengo also took aim at Ruto during the rally, saying the President was seeking political support in Kisumu despite lacking a significant following in the region.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, meanwhile, used the rally to pitch his plans for Nairobi, saying he would seek to address the city’s longstanding challenges if elected governor in 2027.
Babu promised to clean up the city, address water shortages and improve health services.
The Nairobi tour comes as Sifuna intensifies efforts to build a nationwide movement following his break from the ODM, which he served as secretary-general.
His growing political activities have turned Nairobi into a key battleground, with Sifuna seeking to consolidate the city’s youthful and urban electorate while challenging Ruto’s political establishment.
Early Sunday, Linda Mwananchi supporters arrived in the CBD carrying placards and whistles as they waited for the start of the much-anticipated tour.
On Tom Mboya Street, the group danced energetically to anti-government songs, creating a charged atmosphere as more supporters continued to arrive.
Some businesses in parts of the Nairobi CBD were closed ahead of the rally, as police officers maintained a visible presence in the city in anticipation of the political procession.
Outside All Saints Cathedral, large crowds also gathered, with some supporters carrying Kenyan flags as they waited for the church service to end.
