Sifuna Enters Race to Challenge Mudavadi and 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. This entry by Sifuna shakes up the political game plan of established leaders in the region. Meanwhile, 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, singing Ruto's 'tutam' chorus. 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. In a separate development, MP Babu Owino criticized the State over the rise in goonism, accusing authorities of failing to deliver on promises.
