His remarks have stirred heated debate across the political divide, exposing the deep shifts within Luo Nyanza’s post-Raila political landscape.
In a viral post shared here, Amisi suggested that Wanga’s political success was never fully her own, but a reflection of the loyalty Homa Bay voters had for Raila Odinga, who until his passing remained the region’s unchallenged political kingpin.
The MP implied that without Raila’s commanding presence and grassroots influence, many ODM leaders could soon face the reality of diminished support on the ground.
Political analysts say Amisi’s comments reflect a growing sentiment among youthful leaders in Western and Nyanza regions who believe the post-Raila era will redefine political loyalties.
For years, leaders like Gladys Wanga, CS Energy Opiyo Wandayi, and CS Treasury John Mbadi rode on Raila’s wave of influence, but the dynamics are quickly changing as new power centers begin to emerge under the Broad-Based Government led by President William Ruto.
Observers note that Homa Bay remains a stronghold of ODM’s legacy, but internal realignments could test the loyalty of voters who once voted along party lines.
Governor Wanga’s leadership style has faced mixed reactions, while some praise her for her development efforts, others claim she has grown distant from the grassroots.
Caleb Amisi’s remarks have sparked reactions online, with some agreeing that the “Baba factor” was ODM’s biggest political engine, while others see his statement as premature political propaganda ahead of 2027.
As Kenya’s political temperature slowly rises, all eyes are now on how leaders like Wanga will navigate a region learning to stand without its most iconic figure.
