National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has been hyped as the best candidate to succeed President William Ruto in 2032.

This comes after political leaders drawn from the Western Region launched an aggressive push for political unity as they sought to consolidate their influence and position one of their own for the presidency by 2032.

Speaking on Saturday at the burial of Mzee Peter Nasong'o Nabwera in Lugari Constituency, Kakamega County, the political class emphasised the urgent need for the Luhya community to turn its numerical strength into decisive political power at the ballot box.

The gathering, attended by influential national and regional leaders, painted a picture of a region determined to break away from its historical struggles with disunity and fragmented political loyalties.
