The movement is associated with Sifuna and several leaders within the ODM party who oppose the party’s cooperation with the government. Among those involved are Babu Owino, James Orengo, and Godfrey Osotsi.
Another faction within ODM, led by Oburu Oginga and referred to as the Linda Ground team, supports a broad-based political arrangement and is advocating for a coalition with the United Democratic Alliance.
Both groups have been holding rallies in different parts of the country to promote their respective positions.
