Senator Boni Khalwale
The ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has removed Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale from the Senate Majority Whip position.
Bungoma Senator Wafula Wakoli has been appointed to replace Khalwale in the lucrative role.
This is after Khalwale went against the UDA party and supported an opponent, DAP-K’s Seth Panyako, in the just-concluded November by-elections.
The move came moments after Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei said that Khalwale must pay for his political sins, vowing to have him punished.
“Senator Bonni Khalwale of Kakamega County must pay for his political sins for challenging his sponsoring UDA party in the recent Malava constituency by-elections by campaigning against our candidate. His contempt remarks against the UDA Party/Kenya Kwanza administration cannot go unpunished,” Cherargei wrote on X.
“We are going to make him an example of not undermining your own political Party and bring back political hygiene under Political Parties Act. To him we say Tawe & luwere in subsequent manner.”
Khalwale’s security withdrawn
The move comes days after the government withdrew Khalwale’s security, just hours before the highly contested by-elections.
Taking to his official Facebook account on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Khalwale said his security detail was withdrawn without any explanation.
“My security details have been pulled without any warning or explanation,” Khalwale wrote.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
