The political landscape in Sirisia Constituency is shifting rapidly after Hon. Ronald Bisuche Wachukuwa declared his intention to challenge incumbent MCA Evelyn Mutiembu for the South Kulisiru–Malakisi Ward seat. His entry has introduced a new dimension to the unfolding contest, with residents already gearing up for what promises to be one of the constituency’s most closely watched ward races.
Wachukuwa, who has been quietly building a grassroots network across South Kulisiru and Malakisi, announced his bid after weeks of consultations with local opinion leaders, youth groups, and community representatives. His supporters describe him as a pragmatic leader who has consistently raised concerns over stalled development projects and alleged underrepresentation at the county assembly level.

Mutiembu, on her part, has maintained that her track record speaks for itself, citing improvements in road accessibility, bursary allocations, and ongoing coordination with the Bungoma County Government to address water and health service gaps. She has dismissed her opponents as “politically excited individuals” out to derail ongoing development plans.
However, Wachukuwa insists that the ward needs “renewed energy, transparency, and leadership that listens closely to community priorities,” framing his campaign as a push for accountable governance.
Political analysts say the declaration is likely to reshape alliances and campaign strategies across Sirisia. The ward is known for its unpredictable voting patterns, where community engagement often outweighs party loyalty.
Residents now expect an intense ground battle ahead of the 2025 political season, with both camps working aggressively to consolidate support among youth, women groups, farmers, and small business owners.
As the race tightens, South Kulisiru–Malakisi Ward is shaping up to be a key hotspot in Sirisia’s broader political contest, with more aspirants expected to make formal announcements in the coming weeks.
