Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has launched the People’s Renaissance Movement (PM), positioning the new outfit as a potential player in the 2027 General Election amid talks on possible alliances among opposition parties.
Speaking during the party’s National Delegates Convention in Nairobi on Tuesday, Amisi said PM would champion economic liberation, justice and national renewal while seeking to mobilise Kenyans around an economic agenda.
“We, the people of Kenya, hereby launch the People’s Renaissance Movement to deliver the country from economic liberation, economic renaissance and economic justice, and to form a government of the people, by the people, for the people,” Amisi said.
He urged young Kenyans to take responsibility for what he described as the country’s “fourth liberation”, arguing that previous generations had fought for political freedoms and the current generation must pursue economic empowerment.
“This fourth liberation is a duty of our generation. The past three generations rose and did what needed to be done. We are now being called as a generation to rise with enthusiasm, charisma, courage and patriotism to do what needs to be done today,” he said.
“What needs to be done is economic renaissance,” he added.
The launch comes months after Amisi’s removal from the Orange Democratic Movement’s National Executive Committee, marking a fresh chapter in his political career.
