Tensions flared during a Sunday harambee at Kyeni AIC Church when a dramatic scene unfolded, leading Reverend Musee Musya to snatch a microphone from a vocal ally of Kitui West MP Edith Nyenze. The man, described by attendees as a “hopeless Nyenze licker,” had reportedly begun attacking Eng. Vincent Mutua, a fast-rising political figure and 2027 parliamentary aspirant.
The incident came shortly after Eng. Vincent Mutua publicly declared his intention to vie for the Kitui West parliamentary seat in the upcoming 2027 general election. His announcement has significantly shifted the political atmosphere in the region, especially among the youth, young professionals, businesspeople, and students who have openly rallied behind him.
Eyewitnesses said the church momentarily turned into a political battlefield when the Nyenze ally attempted to discredit Eng. Vincent during the fundraiser. The church leadership swiftly intervened, with Reverend Musee Musya stepping in to restore order by forcefully taking the microphone away from the disruptive speaker.
This public fallout is a reflection of the growing discontent among Kitui West constituents. Many residents are now calling for generational change, citing MP Edith Nyenze’s age and alleged underperformance. Criticism has intensified over the fact that her camp failed to secure a single MCA seat in the last general election, a point that has reportedly drawn concern from top Wiper Party leadership.
Sources close to the Wiper Party indicate that party leader Kalonzo Musyoka is increasingly frustrated with the Nyenze camp’s diminishing influence and is considering fresh leadership options. Eng. Vincent Mutua is now emerging as a favorite, with many seeing him as a beacon of hope for Kitui West’s political future.
In a show of growing political force, Mutua’s bid has received a major boost from veteran politician Eng. Musee Mati, who is eyeing a comeback by contesting the Mutonguni Ward seat in 2027.
As the political tide shifts, all eyes are now on Eng. Vincent Mutua and the new generation of leaders seeking to reshape Kitui West
