Manyora explains why Ruto could lose Western Kenya to Sifuna in 2027

Political analyst Herman Manyora has warned President William Ruto against assuming that he can secure Western Kenya’s votes in the 2027 General Election because the Luhya community is politically divided, arguing that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna could attract overwhelming support in the region.Speaking during an interview with a local station on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Manyora dismissed the argument that divisions within the Luhya community would give Ruto an advantage, predicting that Sifuna could command particularly strong support in Vihiga and Busia counties.
