Chwele–Kabuchai by-election sees independent Erick Wekesa defeat National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, signaling voter shift from party loyalty to development-focused leadership.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula suffered a significant political defeat in the Chwele–Kabuchai Ward by-election, losing to independent candidate Erick Wekesa, who secured 6,162 votes.
The win, backed by Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya and former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati, marks a shift in Western Kenya toward development-focused candidates over party loyalty.
Wetang'ula, who voted at the same polling station, saw his influence weakened, with analysts calling it a sign of declining Ford-Kenya dominance and a broader voter rejection of political dynasties.
The result boosts Natembeya’s Tawe Movement, which emphasizes anti-corruption and reform.
