Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has unveiled The Equitable Party (TEP) as his political vehicle for the 2027 Kenyan presidential election. The announcement was made during a ceremony in Nairobi on Sunday, October 4, 2026.

TEP is a component of the Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) coalition. According to TEP leader Gilbert Marava, Sifuna will serve as the party leader and its presidential candidate. The party, which was originally registered in March 2022, features gold and emerald colors and a weighing scale symbol representing social justice.

The Linda Mwananchi Movement serves as a broader coalition that includes other political entities, such as The Mwananchi Party (TMP) led by Babu Owino and the UDP led by George Natembeya. Sifuna is expected to lead negotiations with other opposition groups, including The Ukombozi Alliance (TUA), to establish a unified front for the upcoming general election.
