Addressing a packed gathering during the ongoing “Linda Mwananchi” political wave, Sifuna dismissed earlier remarks suggesting that Kisumu residents could be leaning toward what some have been calling the “Kasongo vote.”
The Senator, known for his sharp political rhetoric, challenged the narrative directly, drawing loud reactions from the crowd.
“Sisi hatutawaangusha, niliskia wakisema ati hapa Kisumu kuna kura ya Kasongo. Kuna kura ya William Ruto kweli hapa?” Sifuna posed, pausing as the crowd erupted in mixed cheers and chants.
The statement appeared aimed at countering political claims that sections of the Luo Nyanza region could be shifting support toward the Head of State.
Instead, Sifuna reinforced the opposition’s confidence in its traditional strongholds, insisting that the ground remains firm.
His remarks come amid heightened political activity in Kisumu, where rival camps have intensified mobilisation efforts ahead of future electoral contests.

The region has remained a key battleground for political messaging, with leaders testing public sentiment through rallies and public engagements.
Supporters in attendance responded with loud chants, some dismissing the idea of a “Kasongo vote” as political propaganda, while others waved banners and sang liberation songs associated with opposition movements.
Observers noted that Sifuna’s remarks were not just rhetorical but strategically designed to energise supporters and reaffirm political loyalty within the region.
Political analysts say such statements are increasingly shaping the tone of early campaigning, with leaders using emotionally charged language to solidify regional blocs.
