If the problem is having different parties, I am ready to leave ODM even now.

Let us come together because I know that we are a sleeping giant in this country,” Oparanya stated.

Wamalwa Signals Western Kenya Unity Push

Speaking during a public event in Trans Nzoia on Saturday, January 25, Wamalwa said collaboration among Western Kenya leaders is crucial in reinforcing unity through DAP and FORD Kenya, which he described as the only politically healthy parties in the region.

He emphasised that unity is necessary to ensure the region remains politically vibrant, especially ahead of the highly anticipated 2027 General Elections.

Wamalwa Clarifies Position

However, Wamalwa was clear that his engagement with Western Kenya leaders is focused on prioritising the region’s political interests and not on supporting President William Ruto.

“In this region, we have four parties, and when we look at the situation closely, some parties are being dissolved.

We were given a challenge by the two remaining parties, DAP and FORD Kenya,” Wamalwa said.

“We were given a challenge that Wetang’ula should look for me, and I look for Wetang’ula and also Musalia, as well as other leaders, so that we may plan strategies.

Wetangula Reveals Pro-Ruto Political Pact

During the same event, Speaker Wetang’ula disclosed that he is in the process of forming a political pact with Mudavadi and Co-operatives and MSMEs Cabinet Secretary Wycliff Oparanya to strengthen their support for President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 elections.

“I urge Wamalwa, with whom we have agreed to work together, to join his elder brothers in cementing Luhya unity behind President Ruto so that the community can realise its long-held dream of producing a President,” Wetang’ula said.

The development is expected to trigger political debate, particularly as it suggests a possible alignment between Wamalwa and key figures within President William Ruto’s administration.
