The party, known as the People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM), recently received provisional registration from the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties.
Its emergence has sparked conversation across the political space, especially after ODM removed Sifuna from his position as Secretary General during a recent National Executive Committee meeting.
Although Sifuna has publicly denied any links to the new party, political observers believe the timing has raised important questions about possible future political realignments.
PRM presents itself as a reform-driven movement focused on changing the way politics is practiced in the country.
The party’s slogan, “The change we need,” reflects its promise to push for transparent leadership, equal opportunities for all citizens, and responsible use of public resources.
Its logo features a hummingbird in flight, designed in red, blue, and white colours, symbolising renewal, energy, and hope.
According to the interim leadership, the movement aims to build a political culture based on ideas, accountability, and service to ordinary Kenyans.
Interim Secretary General Emmanuel Sarabhai said the party wants to unite citizens from all regions and communities.
He explained that PRM intends to address key national challenges, including unemployment, tribal divisions, and gaps in the education system.
The party is also strongly targeting young people. Leaders say the youth must move beyond being described as the country’s future and instead take an active role in leadership and decision-making today.
Chairman Samuel Munyekenye noted that many Kenyans feel politically homeless due to the dominance of established political camps.
He said PRM hopes to offer a fresh alternative that focuses on issues rather than political personalities.
Membership registration has already started through the Integrated Political Party Management System, where citizens can sign up using their national identification details.
A USSD option has also been introduced to make the process easier and accessible to more people.
Meanwhile, Sifuna has continued engaging his supporters on the ground and is expected to hold a public rally soon, his first major appearance since his removal from the ODM leadership.
Even though his connection to PRM remains unclear, the rise of the new party has added fresh energy and speculation to Kenya’s political landscape as new alliances begin to take shape ahead of future political contests.
