24.02.2026 ⇢ The Day Sifuna Called for a Census
⌨
Morning headlines focused on the escalating political vulnerabilities of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, with multiple outlets reporting on his 'mounting political minefields' and resistance across regions. By midday, editorial priority shifted to opposition mobilization, with multiple outlets reporting on ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna's call for a census of 'Linda Mwananchi' supporters and his defense against internal criticism. This coverage deepened as Luhya elders backed Sifuna in his clash with Oburu Oginga, and Sifuna hinted at a 2027 presidential run. In the afternoon, editors tracked the government's simultaneous focus on electoral integrity and economic management, with reports on IEBC warnings ahead of Thursday's by-elections and Kenya's return to IMF borrowing amid privatization plans.
