National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale have urged the Luhya community to support President William Ruto’s re-election bid, saying the backing would help western Kenya secure support for the presidency in 2032.

Speaker Wetangula emphasized the need to back the incumbent to safeguard the Luhya’s bargaining power.

“We as your leaders want the leadership of this country, and if you want to get leadership you have to pass through the existing leadership to get it easily,” he said.
