In the wake of his removal as Senate Majority Whip, Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has been extended an invitation to join the Democracy Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) by its leader, Eugene Wamalwa. Wamalwa claims Khalwale is being unfairly targeted by the ruling UDA party for defending the Luhya community and for backing a DAP-K candidate in a recent by-election.

• Boni Khalwale was ousted as Senate Majority Whip by the UDA party on December 2 due to alleged disloyalty and supporting a rival candidate in the Malava by-election.
• Eugene Wamalwa made the offer in Butula, Busia County, on December 6, stating the door to DAP-K is open to Khalwale.
• Prior to the invite, Khalwale signaled plans to contest the Kakamega gubernatorial seat in 2027 under a new political party.
