Wangamati, Wetang’ula supremacy battle disrupts funeral proceedingsWycliffe Wangamati during a past event: PHOTO/@GovWWangamati/XThe political supremacy battle pitting the former Governor Wycliffe Wangamati and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula came to the fore on Saturday, September 27, 2025, after youths shouting pro-Wetangula slogans heckled the former from addressing the mourners convened at the Sanandiki Primary, Kabuchai Constituency. Hell broke loose after Simiyu Mutaki, a local MCA and staunch supporter of Ford Kenya, took the stage and warned politicians present against speaking ill of the Ford Kenya supremo.

We are saying clearly that we as Bungoma people maneno ya kingdom, maneno ya monarchy, maneno ya project ya Ford Kenya hatutaki hapa Bungoma,” Wangamati said.
