How Sifuna's Western tour has rattled Kenya Kwanza - July 2026
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's upcoming political tour in Western Kenya has reportedly unsettled leaders aligned with the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition, with the tour being a presidential bid initiative that has prompted increased activity from Kenya Kwanza officials in the region. A new poll reveals a significant shift in the Kenyan opposition as Sifuna has, for the first time, overtaken Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka in presidential popularity, while Gachagua supporters want him to be kingmaker.

Following the ouster of Sifuna, the Orange Democratic Movement is also targeting Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi for removal as Chairperson of the County Public Investments and Special Funds committee.
