For the first time in as many years, President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga will be headed to vote rich Western region.
Slated on April 23th, the Annual Devolution Conference will see governors hosting the three protagonists albeit in three separate days.
Interestingly, the visit comes at a time top politicians from the region have launched vicious fight back against the handshake between Uhuru and Raila.
According to CoG Executive Director Jackline Mogeni, Uhuru will open the conference while Raila is expected to give key note speech. On his part, Ruto will close the conference.
Leaders from Western region led by Musalia Mudavadi and Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula, have protested the new found relationship between Raila and Uhuru, arguing that it is not for the best interest of the country.
"I am not against the unity talks but it cannot be genuine when it takes place between two individuals," Mudavadi said.
While Uhuru and Ruto may not have pressure while addressing the conference in Kakamega, Raila could be the villain following criticism from local leadership on his alleged mistreatment on Wetangula.
In a recent interview, Wetangula accused Raila of orchestrating his removal as Senate Minority Leader, a move that Raila has dismissed as 'baseless'.
"Raila is being drawn unfairly to Wetangula's woes. The senator knows what transpired and he should accept the facts instead of whipping tribal emotions," read a statement from Raila.
