In a recent update via his X account, Cleophas Malala, the Secretary General of the UDA party, hinted at a significant meeting that took place in Kakamega. He revealed that UDA Party Leader President William Ruto engaged in an extensive discussion with former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati and himself at Kakamega State Lodge.
The meeting has given rise to speculations that President Ruto, alongside his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua, might be utilizing Malala’s influence to challenge the dominance of Wetangula and Mudavadi in the Western Region. As the Secretary General of the ruling party, Malala is seemingly being positioned to disrupt the longstanding political sway held by Mudavadi’s ANC and Wetangula’s Ford Kenya within the Western Region.
With Malala leading key figures from Western Kenya in shifting allegiance to President Ruto’s camp, it appears that he has formally embarked on a mission to counter the influence of the two prominent Western political figures. The specific details of the meeting have not been disclosed by the former Kakamega senator.
In essence, this development signifies a potential shift in the political dynamics of the Western Region as Malala takes on a more assertive role within the UDA party, aligned with President Ruto’s ambitions.
