Osotsi dismisses Western unity calls, says it's a plot to back Ruto in 2027

Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi has dismissed the renewed push for unity among top Luhya leaders, claiming it is a veiled strategy to rally the Western region behind President William Ruto's re-election bid in 2027.

Speaking in Khwisero, Osotsi said the campaign spearheaded by a section of MPs to unite Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, and Cooperative Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya lacks genuine intent to advance the Luhya agenda. "It is the same narrative they used in 2022 to hoodwink Luhyas.

They promised to deliver 30 per cent of government positions but never even dissolved their own parties.

Now they want to lure the community into supporting Ruto with the promise of a future presidency in 2032," Osotsi said.
