National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has been accused by fellow UDA politicians of favouring Susan Nakhumicha for the Trans Nzoia governor's seat in 2027, sparking an uproar within the ruling coalition.

Governorship hopefuls Kakai Bisau and Chris Wamalwa are demanding a free, fair, and transparent nomination process.
Politicians like Bisau, the Kimini MP, cautioned that the coalition could jeopardise its chances in Trans Nzoia, a region considered an opposition stronghold.
Wetang’ula has denied favouritism, stating Nakhumicha is the only one who has declared interest under the Ford Kenya banner and encouraging others to challenge her in nominations.
