Political dynamics ahead of the 2027 General Election played out at the burial of Mzee Patrick Wangamati in Kabuchai, Bungoma County, where leaders from across the political divide clashed over the country's and region's direction, development record, and President William Ruto's re-election prospects.

Webuye West MP Dan Wanyama faced hostility from sections of mourners when he attempted to popularise President Ruto's two-term agenda.

Despite the heckling, Wanyama defended the right of every Kenyan to make independent political choices.
