National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has cautioned political leaders against engaging in divisive rhetoric, urging them instead to foster peace, unity, and responsible leadership as Kenya heads into another heated political season.
Speaking during a public forum in Taveta, Taita Taveta County, Wetang’ula criticized the opposition for allegedly promoting divisive politics that could destabilize the country. He emphasized that most Kenyans are yearning for national stability and are tired of what he termed “toxic political games.”
“Our people are not interested in chaos or cheap political drama. They want leadership that prioritizes development and harmony,” said Wetang’ula.
The Speaker’s remarks came as Coast region leaders rallied residents to register in large numbers and prepare for a strategic political engagement ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Leading the charge was Mining Cabinet Secretary Ali Hassan Joho, who said the Coast region holds significant electoral weight and will be instrumental in shaping Kenya’s next leadership. He encouraged local communities to unite and actively participate in the democratic process.
Likoni MP Mishi Mboko echoed Joho’s sentiments, noting that the Coast has enough votes to influence the outcome of the presidential race. She urged residents to reject attempts to divide the region through “outdated and self-serving politics.”
The event culminated in a strong call for unity, with leaders warning against politicians seeking to fragment the community for personal gain. As the country’s political landscape begins to shift, messages of peace and strategic regional representation are emerging as central themes in the run-up to 2027.
