Homa Bay politics has taken a dramatic turn after Deputy Governor Oyugi Magwanga announced his resignation, setting the stage for a fierce political battle ahead of the 2027 General Election.
His decision signals growing tensions within the county’s top leadership and could significantly reshape the region’s political landscape.
Magwanga revealed that he has stepped down from his position and will now focus on mounting a gubernatorial bid in 2027.
In a bold declaration, he confirmed that he intends to challenge his current boss, Governor Gladys Wanga, in what is expected to be a high-stakes contest.
The move marks a major political shift in Homa Bay County, where the two leaders were previously seen as close allies.
His resignation not only creates a vacancy in the deputy governor’s office but also sets off early campaigns that could intensify rivalry within local political circles.
Political observers say the announcement could split opinion among supporters, especially within party structures, as both leaders command significant influence in the county. The unfolding rivalry is likely to spark fresh alignments and strategic positioning as 2027 approaches.
With the resignation now official, attention turns to how Governor Wanga will respond and who may be appointed to fill the deputy governor position.
As early campaign lines begin to form, Homa Bay residents are bracing for a heated political showdown in the coming months.
