Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi has dismissed the renewed push for unity among top Luhya leaders, claiming it is a veiled strategy to rally the Western region behind President William Ruto’s re-election bid in 2027.

Speaking in Khwisero, Osotsi said the campaign spearheaded by a section of MPs to unite Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, and Cooperative Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya lacks genuine intent to advance the Luhya agenda.
