Earlier this month, Magwanga dragged Governor Wanga to court over alleged interference in the execution of his duties.
He filed a petition with the Employment and Labour Relations Court seeking orders to compel Wanga to unlock his office and have his county vehicles reinstated, arguing that the Governor’s actions were unconstitutional.
Magwanga also confirmed his intention to contest the Homa Bay gubernatorial seat in the 2027 General Elections, where he is set to challenge the incumbent, Wanga.
