UDA Removes Khalwale As Senate Majority Whip
Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has become the second casualty of the recent by-elections fall-outafter being replaced by Kenya Kwanza as Senate Majority Whip.
The senator has been replaced by his Bungoma counterpart David Wakoli, who hails from National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s Ford-Kenya party.
Senator Khalwale was replaced during a meeting on Tuesday by President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
In a communication dated December 2, 2025, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi said he received correspondence from Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot regarding changes in the majority party leadership, affecting the office of the Senate Majority Whip.
He said that from the correspondence, the minutes indicate a resolution to remove Mr Khalwale in accordance with Standing Order 22(5).
Consequently, the Majority Party elected Senator David Wakoli to take over.
“I am satisfied that the change was made in accordance with Standing Order 22(5) and (7) of the Senate, and meets the threshold required under Standing Order 22,” said Speaker Kingi.
“Accordingly, I wish to communicate to the House that the Majority Party Coalition has effected changes in the Office of the Senate Majority Whip which shall now take effect. The office holder therefore is Senator David Waful Wakoli, MP,” he added.
