Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has launched a sharp attack on former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa demanding that he recognise Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as a key political leader of the Luhya community.
In his remarks, Natembeya appeared frustrated by what he considers reluctance by some leaders to acknowledge Sifuna's growing political influence insisting that anyone unwilling to recognise the senator's position should reconsider their place at the opposition leadership table.
"Kama Eugene Wamalwa hawezi sema Sifuna ndiye kiongozi wa Waluhya kisiasa saa hizi msikubali kumskiza, yeye aondoke kwenye hiyo meza asilete kisirani!" Natembeya declared.
The governor's remarks underline the growing political debate surrounding leadership and representation within the Luhya communit particularly as opposition leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Sifuna, who has emerged as a vocal critic of President William Ruto's administration has increasingly attracted attention through his political activities and involvement in the Linda Mwananchi Movement.
Natembeya's statement also places Wamalwa in the spotlight raising questions about possible differences among leaders seeking to strengthen opposition unity.
The governor appeared to suggest that political cooperation should not be used to undermine leaders whose influence is gaining momentum.
His remarks could further intensify discussions over who should take the leading political role among the Luhya community as the opposition prepares for the next electoral contest.
With 2027 approaching, the question of leadership, political influence and regional representation could become a major factor in shaping opposition alliances.
