Forum for the Restoration of Democracy–KenyaAbout
Moses Wetang’ula is one of Kenya’s most experienced political figures and a central leader within Ford-Kenya. Over several decades he has moved through law, diplomacy, cabinet politics, party leadership, and parliamentary power. His influence is especially strong in Bungoma and parts of Western Kenya, where he remains a major broker of local and national political alignments. Wetang’ula’s public identity is that of a seasoned institutional player: less of a protest politician, more of a coalitio
