Sifuna praised Mwangaza's ability to organise political meetings, arguing that her contribution should not be dismissed simply because she was removed from office.
Sifuna defended his decision to include Mwangaza in the movement's proposed leadership.
He described her as an active political mobiliser with the ability to reach voters across Meru and the wider Mount Kenya East region.
His remarks came after Mudavadi questioned the suitability of leaders who had been impeached from office to occupy positions in Linda Mwananchi.
“Kawira Mwangaza can hold 10 rallies in Meru and Mount Kenya even before Musalia wakes up,” Sifuna said.
He went further to criticise leaders who, in his view, were quick to complain about political competition but did little to mobilise voters.
He argued that Mwangaza's efforts demonstrated why she deserved a place in the movement's leadership.
Sifuna also revisited the 30 per cent share of government that Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula reportedly promised Western Kenya residents while campaigning for President William Ruto in 2022.
He suggested that the two leaders were now facing questions from residents who wanted to know whether the promise had been fulfilled. His comments added another issue to the disagreement between the rival political camps.
The exchange comes as Mudavadi intensifies efforts to rally Western Kenya behind Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary has questioned Linda Mwananchi's national political structures, while Sifuna and his allies continue to build support through grassroots mobilisation.
With Mwangaza now part of the movement's proposed leadership, her role has become another subject of debate in the growing contest for Western Kenya's political support.
