Wetangula received his certificate from the Bungoma County IEBC County Coordinator Grace Rono.

His decision to vie for the Bungoma senatorial seat has raised questions from some of his critics, citing he is principal in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance and therefore has no business vying for the seat unless he is not sure of their success in the August election.

Wetangula responded to his critics and said his move is to the benefit of his FORD-Kenya party and the people from the Luhya community.

The senator also said he was not selfish therefore he is comfortable being a senator which he will discharge his duties with humility.
