The resurgence of Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi as a key political figure in Western region is raising political temperatures as the country gears up for the August elections.

Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula and his Ford Kenya brigade have maintained that Mr Mudavadi (pictured) is being used by Jubilee to weaken the Opposition even as those backing the ANC leader warn they risk becoming politically irrelevant.
