Accompanied by three influential Members of Parliament from the Western region, Benjamin Washiali, Emmanuel Wangwe, and Innocent Mugabe, the visit signals a potential realignment in a region known for its strategic importance in national politics.
While officially described by Atwoli as a courtesy call, the timing and the caliber of the guests suggest a much deeper agenda.
Francis Atwoli, long considered a staunch critic of the current administration, seems to be opening his doors to the President’s inner circle.
According to the veteran trade unionist, the group engaged in extensive and fruitful discussions regarding the current political climate in the country.
The presence of Farouk Kibet is particularly significant.
As one of the President’s most trusted confidants, his involvement usually points to high-level networking or the brokering of political truces.
By bringing along MPs from the "Luhya nation," the delegation appears to be strengthening the bridge between the executive and Western Kenya leadership.
For Atwoli, hosting these leaders at his private residence in Kakamega County demonstrates his enduring influence.
It suggests that despite past ideological differences, there is a growing consensus on the need for dialogue to navigate the country’s evolving political challenges.
Whether this meeting was about regional development or a precursor to a new political alliance remains to be seen.
However, one thing is certain: in Kenyan politics, there are no permanent enemies.
