Nairobi Senator Boni Khalwale has warned Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna that the difficult part of his political journey has begun. Speaking during the launch of Sifuna’s Equitable Party in Nairobi on October 4, Khalwale urged Sifuna to seek guidance from experienced leaders such as Orengo, Gachagua, and Kalonzo. Khalwale emphasized that while Sifuna possesses the qualities to rise politically, he must humble himself and build bridges with senior opposition figures.
Khalwale’s remarks came as Sifuna officially launched his political party, aiming to position himself as a contender for the 2027 general election. The senator highlighted the importance of strategic alliances, suggesting that Sifuna’s success will depend on his ability to navigate the complex political landscape. Khalwale also stressed the need for Sifuna to avoid isolation and engage with established political forces.
This warning follows Sifuna’s decision to form a new party, marking a significant shift in Kenya’s political scene. The move has drawn attention from both supporters and critics, with some viewing it as a bold step toward political independence, while others see it as a risky gamble. Khalwale’s intervention underscores the challenges facing emerging political figures in Kenya, where alliances and experience often play a crucial role in electoral success.
