Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has revealed that the Linda Mwanchi website was temporarily taken down due to massive cyberattacks and to address technical improvements.
Sifuna noted that thousands of users had signed up after the website went live on Friday, March 13, praising supporters for the overwhelming response.
He added that the Linda Mwananchi team would consider public feedback to enhance the website.
“We have taken the site offline to address the issues and incorporate your ideas. We ask for your patience,” Sifuna posted on X.
The Linda Mwananchi faction has symbolised deep internal divisions within ODM, with the party splitting along ideological lines.
The Linda Mwananchi faction supports the ‘one term’ narrative and comprises Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, Siaya Governor James Orengo, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi, Suba South MP Caroli Omondi, Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga, among others.
The opposing Linda Ground faction, aligned with ODM party leader Dr Oburu Oginga, backs a broad-based arrangement and is pushing for a coalition with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Both factions have been staging rallies across the country in a bid to advance their respective agendas.
