Video: Edwin Sifuna Receives Bad News After Holding A Massive Rally In Bungoma
BUNGOMA, Kenya — Nairobi Senator and former Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna saw his political high shattered shortly after leading a massive, charged rally across Western Kenya.
Flanked by allies under the newly formed Linda Mwananchi movement, Sifuna began his tour with a Sunday church service in Trans Nzoia before making a grand entry into Bungoma County.
Cheering crowds welcomed him like a local kingpin, signaling a major push to consolidate his political grip on the Mulembe nation.
The Turnaround: Just hours after the triumphant procession, former Kakamega Governor and Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya dealt a crushing blow to Sifuna’s regional ambitions.

Oparanya’s Declaration Alters Western Politics
Declaring his unwavering stance, Oparanya made it clear that he will not back Sifuna’s bid, nor will he ditch the current administration to rejoin the opposition coalition. He firmly asserted that he remains committed to working alongside President William Ruto.
Oparanya insisted that the Western region intends to support President Ruto “to the last man” heading into the 2027 General Election. He dismissed attempts to rally the region away from the government, emphasizing that the Luhya community’s interests are best served within the ruling administration.
This high-profile defiance highlights the deepening rift within Western Kenya’s political landscape. As Sifuna works to position himself as the premier voice for the opposition in the region, resistance from seasoned powerbrokers like Oparanya threatens to split the electorate.
The setback serves as a stark reminder that despite a triumphant homecoming, unifying the Western bloc remains a steep uphill battle ahead of 2027.
