Mudavadi urges Western region to back Ruto in 2027

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has rallied the Western region to unite and support President William Ruto’s re-election bid in 2027.

Speaking during a fundraising and empowerment event in Vihiga County hosted by Woman Representative Beatrice Adagala, Mudavadi urged leaders from the region to close ranks and focus on a shared political direction.

“The Western region must unite and speak with one voice. We are stronger when we walk together,” Mudavadi stated.

The event brought together key leaders from the Western region, including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Sirisia MP John Walukhe, as the region strategises its political direction ahead of the 2027 general election.

Wetang’ula echoed the calls for unity, stating that the that region stands to benefit more by speaking with one voice on matters of national development.

“We have been in politics for some time and we know that in politics, however wise you are, without the people you amount to nothing. As a region, we must walk together and speak the same language in development matters as we rally behind President William Ruto,” Wetang’ula stated.

On his part, MP Walukhe defended the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), warning against any attempts to abolish it.

He argued that the fund continues to support development projects at the grassroots level especially in education and infrastructure.
