The Wiper Democratic Movement has announced plans to change its name to Wiper Patriotic Front in a bid to give the party a new face and align with Kenya's youth.

Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka said the rebrand is part of preparations for the 2027 general elections as the party seeks to attract young voters.
