Published on October 13, 2019, Francis Atwoli, the influential COTU Secretary General, has made a bold declaration regarding the Luhya nation's voting intentions in 2022.
Addressing a public funds drive in Bukwala, Atwoli dismissed the notion of self-proclaimed Luhya spokesmen, stating that the Luhya people would vote as a block in favor of the candidates he would instruct them to support.
Atwoli, known for his significant influence in Western Kenya's decision-making processes, warned aspiring leaders against seeking the Western block's support without his endorsement.
As one of the most powerful figures in Kenya's corridors of power, Atwoli has been credited with successfully swaying voters' decisions in his preferred candidates.
