The Equitable Party (TEP) has officially changed its name to the Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM). The change was approved on Friday, November 13, 2026, at the party's National Delegates Conference. Party communications head Pauline Njoroge confirmed the decision in a statement.

Delegates also backed changes to the party's colours, symbol, and headquarters. Njoroge said the conference adopted all the proposed changes. She described the vote as formalising the party's move from TEP to LMM.

Amendments to the party constitution were also approved. Delegates adopted new nomination and election rules as well. The conference marked a major step in restructuring the party.

Delegates authorised leader Edwin Sifuna to hold coalition talks ahead of the 2027 General Election. The talks will involve like-minded political parties. Njoroge said the NDC approved the plan.

Before the conference, a petitioner had gone to court. The challenge targeted a Political Parties Disputes Tribunal decision that cleared the party to hold the meeting. The High Court certified the application as urgent. However, it declined to halt the conference.

The party had also restricted attendance. Only delegates registered as TEP members by the time the notice was published could attend. Each county had a fixed number of delegates based on its membership.

Njoroge thanked delegates for backing the transition. She said the conference strengthened the party's organisation. She also urged members to cooperate as the movement adopts its new identity.
