Battle for Mulembe: Sifuna's entry shakes up Mudavadi, Wetang'ula's political game plan - July 2026

The political landscape of Western Kenya is being reshaped as Edwin Sifuna, a prominent leader, challenges the influence of seasoned politicians Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang'ula ahead of the 2027 general election. Former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala has thrown his weight behind Sifuna, urging Western leaders to speak with one voice and rally behind Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna for singular leadership. Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang'ula has defied a court order by participating in President William Ruto's political campaign tour in Western Kenya, singing the 'tutam' chorus. The burial of Vincent Osiemo, also known as Mapinduzi, who died following an attack on an opposition convoy, saw renewed calls for political tolerance.
