Machakos Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi blasts Mutua, elevates Kalonzo in Mumbuni North race

Mwangangi framed the by-election as a critical test for Kalonzo Musyoka’s influence, arguing that a vote for Wiper’s candidate, Anthony Kisoi, is a de facto vote for Kalonzo’s national relevance. He cautioned against dividing the opposition and warned that imposing unpopular leaders could derail development in Ukambani.
