Homa Bay County Governor Gladys Wanga has publicly challenged her detractors, including her deputy, Oyugi Magwanga, to resign amidst escalating tensions. She cited a need for loyalty and discipline within her administration, emphasizing that those unwilling to cooperate should step down.

• Governor Wanga confronted county officials critical of her administration, including Deputy Governor Magwanga, at a rally in Homa Bay County.
• The fallout stems from Magwanga's support for an Independent candidate, Philip Aroko, in the Kasipul parliamentary by-election, defying Wanga's backing of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate, Boyd Were.
• Magwanga alleged the ODM nomination process that selected Boyd Were was not "free and fair."
