He stated that he is ready to face the impeachment process and will not step down quietly.
“They want to impeach me. Let them bring the motion, and we shall see how it ends,” he said, insisting he is prepared for any outcome.
Magwanga added that if the attempt to remove him fails, he will initiate a counter-impeachment process against Governor Wanga.

He claimed their political relationship has deteriorated to a point where both sides are openly challenging each other.
According to Magwanga, their disagreements began long before the Kasipul by-election, where he supported independent candidate Philip Aroko instead of the ODM candidate Boyd Were.

Magwanga said he felt publicly sidelined when Governor Wanga failed to acknowledge him during official proceedings while acknowledging other leaders, including her husband.
“That day showed me that I no longer had a place in the county government,” he explained.
The situation escalated further soon after the Kasipul by-election when Governor Wanga reshuffled the county executive.

The reshuffle removed Magwanga from his role as the CECM for Agriculture, a position he previously held in addition to being deputy governor.
Magwanga says his removal was politically motivated and aimed at diminishing his influence.
In another claim, Magwanga stated that his office was locked on December 1, 2025. He accused unknown individuals of blocking him from accessing the premises, saying he found the doors shut and guarded by what he described as hired goons.

Governor Wanga has faced criticism from a section of county residents and elders who believe the conflict is hurting county development.

Luo elders have reportedly called on both leaders to resolve their differences peacefully and avoid turning county politics into personal battles.
The growing tension has created uncertainty in Homa Bay’s political future. If both leaders follow through with their threats to impeach each other, the county could be thrown into a prolonged power struggle that may disrupt service delivery.
