What you need to know:

  • On Sunday, Musalia and Wetang'ula openly voiced their resents to Mr Atwoli's plans.
  • The two spoke as the Cotu boss hosted Raila at his rural home in Khwisero, Kakamega County on Boxing Day.

A political showdown is looming in the Luhya nation after key leaders of the community openly differed with Cotu boss Francis Atwoli's plan to hold a rally at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega County to give the vote-rich region ‘direction’ ahead of next year's General Election.

Mr Atwoli has indicated that rally will be held on December 31, in what has been interpreted as a scheme to endorse ODM leader Raila Odinga.
