The latest in this battle for supremacy are two planned by meetings by rival leaders from the Western region. On the one hand, is the Bukhungu meeting organised by Cotu boss Francis Atwoli and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya this Saturday. Assembly Deputy Speaker Soita Kasaya said that the Bukhungu meeting agenda will not be restricted to BBI. The Western region has overwhelmingly voted for Raila since 2007 but his influence in the region seems to be waning. Political scientist Amukowa Anangwe said the Bukhungu meeting should not be turned into a coronation platform because this will be an exercise in futility.
