Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala now says that the Luhya nation needs a new set of leaders.
Speaking in Mumias in Kakamega county Sunday, Malala downplayed Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula, the region's current political bosses.
The Senate Deputy Minority Leader urged the two to exit the political arena for a fresh leadership, accusing them of misleading the community.
Malala said that himself, his Vihiga counterpart George Khaniri, the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and ANC nominated Member of Parliament Godfrey Osotsi have since taken over the throne.
"Its time they considered exiting the stage for us. We cannot continue to be subjected to confused leadership," he said.
"Myself and my brothers have identified the vacuum and have since taken over and will collaborate in leading the Luhya nation to prosperity," added the Senator.
Malala, Khaniri and Osotsi, all from the ANC bloc, have lately been at loggerheads with Mudavadi over his snub of Odinga's January 30 mock inauguration, earning them the tag "rebels".
Malala and Osotsi have since sided with Odinga's Orange Democratic Party (ODM) in its ongoing disagreement with Ford Kenya over Wetangula's Senate Minority Leader ouster.
