Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has pledged to safeguard political unity in Nyanza and Western Kenya, asserting that he will not allow local conflicts to undermine cohesion in the region.
Speaking publicly, Mudavadi said he has been entrusted by both former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President William Ruto to maintain harmony across these critical political strongholds. “Raila Odinga and William Ruto entrusted me with the unity of Nyanza and Western, and I will not allow Natembeya to ruin it,” he declared, emphasizing his commitment to preserving alliances and stability.
Analysts note that Mudavadi’s remarks come amid rising tensions involving Governor Moses Natembeya, highlighting the delicate balance of political relationships in Kenya’s western and Nyanza regions. His statement reinforces his role as a mediator and underscores the importance of regional unity in broader coalition politics.
By taking a firm stance, Mudavadi signals both leadership and responsibility, aiming to prevent disputes from escalating and ensuring that political objectives are not compromised by personal or local disagreements.
