National Assembly Speaker Hon. Moses Masika Wetang’ula appears to have shifted gears politically following the defeat of Ford Kenya in the highly contested Kabuchai (Chwele) Ward race, a loss that sent shockwaves through the party’s traditional stronghold in the Western region.
Once regarded as an unshakable Ford Kenya zone, the Kabuchai loss has been widely interpreted as a warning sign that voter loyalty can no longer be taken for granted. In response, Wetang’ula is now moving decisively to consolidate his support base and reassert discipline within the party ranks.
In a strong show of authority, Ford Kenya has expelled its Deputy National Organizing Secretary, Mr. Davis M. Burare, in a decision communicated through an official letter dated **11th November 2025**.
The letter, signed by the party’s Secretary General **Hon. Dr. John M. Chikati, PhD, MBS, MP**, cites *gross misconduct, insubordination, and working in cahoots with external forces to wreck the party from within*.

According to the document, the party’s Management Committee resolved on 10th November 2025 to remove Mr. Burare from both party membership and leadership, invoking provisions of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and Sections 14A and 14B of the Political Parties Act, 2011.
The letter further states that the party will not tolerate internal sabotage, especially at a time when it is seeking to reclaim its lost political glory.
The Registrar of Political Parties has been formally notified and requested to deregister Mr. Burare as a Ford Kenya member, underscoring the seriousness of the move.
Political analysts view this expulsion as a calculated tactic by Wetang’ula to demonstrate accountability, restore internal discipline, and send a clear message to both supporters and detractors that Ford Kenya is serious about reform. By cleaning house, Wetang’ula hopes to rebuild trust in Western Kenya and reignite grassroots confidence after the Kabuchai setback.
As the 2027 political contestations begin to take shape, it is evident that Wetang’ula is no longer playing safe—and Western Kenya is firmly back on his political radar.
