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.
