The race for the vacant Kibra parliamentary seat is getting hotter as days continue elapsing. As Raila Odinga-led ODM party continues to await its nominations for them to decide on whom will bear its flag, some parties have already unveiled their candidate.
Musalia Mudavadi’s Amani National Congress (ANC) on Wednesday unveiled former Raila’s aide Eliud Owalo as their candidate in the upcoming by-elections.
Just recently, Owalo ditched ODM for ANC in readiness for the race.
Owalo will face Jubilee and ODM candidates in the November 7, 2019 mini polls.
ODM will unveil its candidate after their nominations that have been scheduled for Saturday 31st.
The ruling Jubilee party will also unveil its candidate once it settles its matters regarding the same. The party through its Secretary General Raphael Tuju on Monday disowned a letter bearing the list of aspirants that had been submitted to IEBC.
It has not submitted another list. The disowned list bore the names of soccer star McDonald Mariga, Morris Peter Kinyanjui, Walter Trenk, Said Ibrahim and Doreen Wasike.
The Kibra MP seat fell vacant following the demise of Ken Okoth who succumbed to cancer in July.
