Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka has confirmed that he is joining the Linda Mwananchi political faction, where he expects to serve as treasurer, in a move that could reshape political alignments in the Gusii region ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Onyonka, however, downplayed the possibility of a fallout with former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, insisting that his decision to join the emerging outfit had the former CS’s blessings.
Speaking to Kahawatungu by phone on Thursday, the senator said he was among the founders of Linda Mwananchi and had been tipped to take up the treasurer’s position.
