The ex-governor and the senator have been sworn bitter political enemies for many years.
The meeting between the two signals the beginning of the search for new leadership for the county ahead of 2027 elections.
Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale and former Governor Wycliffe Oparanya-bitter political enemies, have buried the hatchet in preparation for the 2027 General Election.
Mr Oparanya said he has agreed to support Dr Khalwale's ambition to run for the county’s governor seat in 2027, while the senator promised to support the former governor’s quest for any seat he may seek.
