Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's party has resolved to change its name as it sets its eyes on coalition talks ahead of the 2027 General Election. 

The Equitable Party (TEP) has changed its name to the Linda Mwananchi Movement after its National Delegates Conference (NDC) approved the move on Friday in Nairobi, the outfit said in a statement.

The party's delegates approved the name change together with proposed changes to the party's colours, symbol and headquarters.

The NDC also approved coalition-building talks with "like-minded political parties", it said in the statement signed by Pauline Njoroge.

Other resolutions

The NDC also adopted a number of other resolutions and proposed amendments to the party's constitution and election rules.
