End of Luhya politics as ANC picks Mudavadi’s replacement outside Western!

Amani National Congress (ANC) has finally picked Luhya Kingpin Musalia Mudavadi’s replacement hours after he was successfully vetted and approved by Parliament for the position of prime cabinet secretary.

It was expected that the fact that the party has it’s deep roots in Western Kenya, Musalia’s replacement would come from the west of this country.

Apparently, the party chose Lamu Governor Issa Timamy as the new party Leader, leaving all Luhya people wondering what would happen to their politics next.

In a statement shared by the party on Thursday, 27th of October 2022, Timamy was appointed by the ANC Council Bureau as the leader albeit in an acting capacity. 

“H.E Musalia Mudavadi relinquished his position as ANC Party Leader following his nomination as the Prime CS. 

“The ANC Party wishes H.E Mudavadi God’s blessing in his service as Prime Cabinet Secretary and heartily welcomes Gov. Issa Timamy into his new role as Party Leader,” the state read in part.
