Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale publicly differed with Deputy Governor Ayub Savula on Saturday over Western region's political direction ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The two leaders differed during a funeral in Lugari constituency, turning the solemn send-off of Rose Anyona, mother of Mautuma MCA Charles Anyona, into a political battlefield.

Senator Khalwale fired the first salvo, tearing into the Deputy Governor for leading the campaigns for President William Ruto’s re-election bid.
