Senator Boni Khalwale endorsed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna for the 2027
presidency on Saturday, calling on the Luhya community to unite behind him and
criticizing trade union leader Francis Atwoli for opposition.
Sifuna, ODM secretary general and a sharp
critic of President Ruto, responded humbly with 'Oriooo Omwami. Im humbled' as
recent Infotrak polls show him tied at 12% behind Ruto's 32%.
Supporters like Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya see potential for Luhya consolidation among over 3 million voters, though skeptics question if the momentum will hold amid opposition shifts.
