Popular Kenyan disc jockey Pinto Cahill has publicly switched political allegiance, joining Senator Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi movement after falling out with the Oburu Oginga-led ODM faction.The decision followed growing frustration over unpaid work at rallies in Kisumu, Migori, Narok, and other venues.

Pinto claimed he was repeatedly not paid or given minimal transport allowances for events like the Nyanza Golf Club fundraiser and Kisumu Wabiro Mega Rally.

He highlighted the contrast between political camps, describing one as mobilizing attendees with financial incentives while the other attracted organic support through volunteer donations.The split within ODM has deepened, with each faction competing for grassroots figures like entertainers and organizers.Pinto's move underscores internal tensions over legitimacy and legacy within the party.
