National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has warned leaders from Western Kenya that continued disunity risks diminishing the region's political bargaining power ahead of the 2027 Kenyan General Election. Speaking at Muanda Catholic Church on Sunday, September 21, 2025, Wetang’ula urged leaders to unify, emphasizing that other regions rally cohesively behind their respective political figures.

• Wetang’ula highlighted that the region accounts for 22 percent of the total voting pattern in Kenya, yet its votes are often fragmented.
• He criticized the lack of regional unity, contrasting it with the consolidated support seen for leaders like Raila Odinga in Nyanza, President William Ruto in Kalenjin land, and Kalonzo Musyoka in the Kamba nation.
• The call for unity comes amidst growing rivalry between supporters of Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya and those backing Wetang’ula.
• Bungoma Senator Wafula Wakoli supported the warning, stating that unity is their only "currency" for national influence.

Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has urged ODM leader Raila Odinga to end his political association with President William Ruto, warning that continued ties could damage Odinga's decades-long political legacy.

• Amisi believes Odinga risks political downfall if Ruto fails to secure re-election in 2027.
• He cautioned Odinga against supporting the transfer of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) to governors, calling it the "only tangible source of development felt at the grassroots."
• Amisi predicted that Kenya could make history with a one-term president due to Ruto's alleged failure to fulfill pledges and his imposition of "punitive taxes."

Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i celebrated a significant victory as the Court of Appeal overturned his 2018 contempt conviction, revitalizing his intention to run for the presidency in 2027. He declared that those who celebrated his conviction should prepare to face him at the ballot.

• The Court of Appeal judges, Wanjiru Karanja, Lydia Achode, and Joel Ngugi, set aside the contempt findings and a fine of Sh200,000 each.
• The contempt charges originated from March 2018 events when Miguna Miguna was denied entry at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
• Matiang’i reunited with Kisii Governor Simba Arati and former Borabu MP Ben Momanyi, who pledged their support for his 2027 presidential bid.

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have vowed to resist attempts by President William Ruto to infiltrate the opposition, with Kalonzo declaring he would not betray the Kamba community by joining Ruto's regime. They claim Ruto is using clergy from the Ukambani region to woo Kalonzo, a move both leaders termed futile.

• Kalonzo Musyoka stated he wouldn't join Ruto's government, emphasizing his loyalty to the Kamba community and predicting Ruto's regime would "crumble come 2027."
• Both leaders alleged President William Ruto is attempting to co-opt Kalonzo into his administration, including through intermediaries like the clergy.
• Former Attorney General Justin Muturi warned the new Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) against being manipulated by the current government in upcoming elections.
