Wetang'ula Tells Western Residents to Back Ruto for Development Projects

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula urged residents of the Western region to support President William Ruto's re-election to ensure the continuation and completion of development projects. Meanwhile, Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has urged leaders from the Western region to aim for the presidency in 2032 rather than seeking the Deputy President position in 2027, believing the region has benefited from its partnership with Ruto's government. Wetang'ula is consolidating his political influence in Western Kenya, positioning himself as a key figure while Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi appears less active locally. These developments represent coordinated political messaging from Western Kenya leaders supporting the Ruto administration.
