Sifuna Enters Race to Challenge Mudavadi, Wetang'ula in Western Kenya

The political landscape of Western Kenya is being reshaped as Edwin Sifuna, a prominent leader, challenges the influence of seasoned politicians Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang'ula ahead of the 2027 general election. Former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala is advocating for unity among Western leaders, specifically urging them to rally behind Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna for a singular leadership voice. Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang'ula has defied a court order by participating in President William Ruto's political campaign tour in Western Kenya. The burial of Vincent Osiemo, also known as Mapinduzi, who tragically died following an attack on an opposition convoy, saw renewed calls for political tolerance.
