A consultative meeting between a delegation of senior leaders from the expansive Western region and President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, took place today at State House Nairobi.
According to a photo that was posted by TV 47 Kenya on its official Facebook page, there were two elected members of the region's parliament present. The duo consisted of; Titus Khamala, a legislator for Lurambi, and Emmanuel Wagwe, a legislator for Navakholo,
Titus Khamala and Emmanuel Wagwe were both elected on the ODM party ticket. Khamala started out as a member of the ANC party but switched to the ODM party a few months before the August elections to fight for his Lurambi parliamentary seat.
