Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula have turned their guns on Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as the battle for political supremacy in Western Kenya gathers pace.
The two veteran politicians have dismissed Sifuna’s presidential ambitions, arguing that the presidency is not a position for political novices but one that demands years of experience and a proven national track record.
Their remarks come as Sifuna steps up efforts to position himself as a fresh political force capable of challenging the region’s established leadership ahead of the 2027 General Election.Sifuna’s growing popularity among young voters and his aggressive push for a presidential ticket have rattled the region’s traditional political establishment.

Mudavadi and Wetang’ula, who have dominated Western Kenya’s political scene for decades, now face a new challenge from a younger generation determined to rewrite the region’s political script.The emerging contest has set the stage for a bruising battle over who will control Western Kenya’s millions of votes and who will speak for the region in the race for State House.
The message from Mudavadi and Wetang’ula is clear: Sifuna may be rising, but they are not ready to surrender Western Kenya without a fight.
