“I will always stand with you my people, the people of Bungoma County. You will never walk alone, I will never let you down. Today, together with other leaders here, we urge you to vote for Mwalimu David Wakoli Wafula on December 8” Mudavadi said during a campaign stop.

The Ford-Kenya Leader has exuded confidence that the ‘Simba Party’ will retain the Bungoma senatorial seat.

“The great people of Bungoma have asked me to show them the best leader for the Senate race and I have shown them none other the able enthusiastic and professional David Wafula Wakoli.”

“This Young Man has walked in my political shadow for a length time and clearly knows the Senator’s roles of oversight, legislation and representation,” Wetang’ula stated.

Wetang’ula kicked off the campaign whirlwind with a rally in the Bungoma town where he received Kelly Walubengo as he defected from the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition.

“Kelly is a young focused leader who has chosen the correct path in politics. We welcome here to the Lion’s Party with open arms and tell home to welcome home and be part of the Ford Kenya’s big family. Karibu Kwa Jeshi la Green Commandos​,” he started.​
