National Assembly Speaker Honorable Moses Masika Wetang’ula is facing renewed political heat, just months after suffering a painful defeat in Kabuchai, a loss that continues to cast doubt on his influence in Western Kenya ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Wetang’ula’s troubles began when his camp lost the Chwele–Kabuchai Ward seat to independent candidate Eric Wekesa, a shocking outcome that left many Kenyans questioning whether the Ford Kenya party leader still commands the political loyalty he once enjoyed in Bungoma County. The defeat was widely viewed as a protest vote against his leadership and political direction.
Before the political dust could fully settle, another blow has now landed. In a fiery video that has gone viral on social media, former Ford Kenya Secretary General Honorable Chris Wamalwa openly warned Wetang’ula to keep his politics strictly within Bungoma County and stay away from Trans Nzoia affairs.

Wamalwa accused the Speaker of benefiting politically from Trans Nzoia without offering any meaningful development or leadership to the county.
According to him, Wetang’ula’s involvement in Trans Nzoia politics has done little for residents, insisting that the county should be left to chart its own political future without interference from Bungoma leaders.
He went further to caution leaders from Bungoma, including Governor Kenneth Lusaka, to keep off Trans Nzoia politics, declaring that the people of Trans Nzoia are capable of managing their own affairs.
The remarks have sparked heated debate online, with Kenyans divided over whether Wetang’ula’s regional dominance is slowly fading. Political observers say the Speaker now faces a race against time to rebuild trust, mend broken alliances, and reclaim his influence before it’s too late.
With 2027 fast approaching, Wetang’ula’s political future may depend on how he responds to these growing warnings.
