Nairobi Senator and the Orange Democratic Movement Party secretary-general Edwin Sifuna has received a major boost in his quest for the country's top leadership after he got backing from a section of elders of Mulembe Nation to face President William Ruto in the 2027 election.

On Saturday in Kabuchai in Bungoma, during the funeral of Patrick Wangamati, the father of former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati, Mr Sifuna was fronted as the community’s kingpin.
