‘I am my own man,’ Ongwae says after questions on new party
Ongwae refutes claims he is operating as puppet in Gusii for external forces.
The political landscape of the Gusii region is becoming more complex ahead of the August 2027 General Election with the latest move being the launch of United Super Alliance Party (USAP) led by former Kisii Governor James Ongwae.
While Mr Ongwae has not come clearly to state which seat he will be vying for or which political formation he intends to work with ahead of 2027, the launch injects a fresh dynamic contest into a region that is already heavily fragmented and fiercely contested by established political giants.
Ongwae says his party believes in neither the “one-term” nor the “two-term” narrative.
