Police in Busia County are holding a man who confessed to killing his 25‑year‑old wife, Metrine Wandera, at their matrimonial home in Bungoma.
The suspect walked into Busia police station, over 100 kilometers from the crime scene, and admitted to the murder.
According to police reports, the man claimed he attacked his wife after allegedly finding her involved in a love affair with another man on their matrimonial bed.
In a fit of anger, he reportedly attacked and bludgeoned her, leaving her with fatal injuries. He fled the scene, fearing retaliation from neighbors who might have turned violent against him.
He suggested that unity among key opposition figures would energize voters who are dissatisfied with the government.
Manyora shared a similar assessment. He noted that in the current political climate, perception plays a major role.
Even a public appearance showing the two leaders together could shift momentum. A joint strategy, he observed, may simplify the path for a consolidated opposition ticket in 2027.
Speculation about a possible handshake has grown in recent weeks. The two leaders fell out before the 2022 elections, but recent political signals suggest warming relations.
Allies on both sides have softened their tone, fueling talk of behind the scenes negotiations.
Some Jubilee figures who once criticized Gachagua have recently shown openness to cooperation.
Political realignments within the party have also attracted attention. Changes in leadership positions have been interpreted by observers as part of a broader strategy ahead of 2027.
