Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya is at the center of a political storm within the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K), accused of orchestrating a coup against party leader Eugene Wamalwa. This internal strife coincides with similar generational challenges observed in other Western Kenya political outfits, notably the ODM.

• A disputes resolution committee is planned by DAP-K's National Management Committee (NMC) to address the party's internal rift.
• Natembeya, also the party's deputy leader, claims his actions aim to expand DAP-K's appeal nationally, denying intentions of a coup.
• Separately, Saboti MP Caleb Hamisi, backed by ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna, plans a significant declaration in Lukhome, Saboti, signaling discontent within ODM regarding its alignment with President William Ruto's UDA.
