Trans Nzoia County Governor hopeful George Natembeya has unveiled his choice for deputy ahead of the Monday May 16, 2022 deadline set by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

The former Rift Valley Regional Commissioner on Friday unveiled Mrs. Philemona Bineah Kapkor as his choice for deputy governor at an event held at Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) headquarters located at Chui House, Nairobi.

Philomena is a banker and Natembeya believes her experience and expertise will help the Tans Nzoia County grow should he clinch the county’s topmost seat.

Natembeya’s main opponent is Kiminini Member of Parliament Chris Wamalwa who is vying on a Ford Kenya ticket.

Migori gubernatorial candidate John Pesa unveiled veteran journalist Matiko Bohoko as his running mate.

Kisii gubernatorial candidate Sam Ongeri unveiled Engineer Josiah Maaga as his ticket-mate.

Busia gubernatorial hopeful Moses settled on Tom Ipomai as his running mate.

Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa who is the DAP-K party patron used the event’s opportunity to tell ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula that the power-sharing deal they signed with DP William Ruto is a scam.

Both Mudavadi and Wetangula have been promised 30 per cent of the government should Ruto win the August 9 presidential election.

However, the promise comes with a rider that the two politicians must deliver at least 70 per cent of the Western Kenya votes. That is around 1.8 million votes.

Should they succeed in that quest, and Ruto wins the presidency, then Mudavadi will be appointed the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Wetangula the Speaker of the National Assembly.

“Stop Misleading The People of Western,” MP Mwambu Mabonga Tells Off CS Wamalwa

Bumula member of parliament Mwambu Mabonga has asked Ministry of Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugine Wamalwa to stop misleading the Luhya community.

According to Mwambu, Wamalwa puts his interest first more than the people of Bungoma and so he should let the people choose the leader of their choice.

While addressing the residents at Lwanja in Bumula constituency, Mwambu said that if at all Eugine had the interest of the people of Bungoma at heart then he would have fought hard to even have the fertilizer’s prices lowered.

This comes after the DAP-K party held a similar meeting in the same constituency recently drumming up support for Azimio La Umoja coalition whose presidential candidate is ODM leader Raila Odinga.

Mabonga lashed out at the Azimio allies saying that instead of dedicating themselves in improving the living standards of their own people, they are busy moving around and using the government resources to form many political parties to satisfy their own interests.

“Azimio team was here last week and instead of campaigning and telling the people what they have in store for them, they are busy insulting me. That shows how confused they are, and they should get their priorities right,” he said.

Mabonga went ahead to lament on how the government is blackmailing the Kenya Kwanza alliance supporters forcing them to pull their weight behind Azimio.

This comes after Sirisia MP John Waluke ditching UDA for the Jubilee party which is allied to Azimio.

The first term MP went further to campaign for Ruto and the entire UDA team saying that once they take over the government, they will budget 100 million shillings to the struggling residents so they can relate to the problems that happen.

His sentiments were echoed by women rep aspirant Nancy Kibaba who recently ditched AZIMIO for UDA saying that it is a movement with no agenda.

Blow To DP Ruto As Bungoma DG Dumps UDA For DAP-K

Deputy President William Ruto has suffered a major blow after Bungoma Deputy Governor Charles Kibanani Ngome ditched the United Democratic Party (UDA) and reunited with his boss Governor Wycliffe Wangamati in Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K).

Speaking at the party’s headquarters at Chui house, Professor Ngome noted that the invasion of Moses Wetang’ula’s Ford Kenya in UDA has caused havoc and confusion.

“I joined UDA so that I can unseat Wetang’ula from the senatorial seat but Ford Kenya uniting with UDA brought confusion in the party since I was told that Wetang’ula is my boss. How can my boss be the same person that I am competing with? It doesn’t make sense,” he said.

Ngome went ahead to say that he is so focused to oust Wetang’ula and it should be known to him that as much as he joined UDA, he is not going to step down to pave way for him and instead he is coming on DAP-K party and come 9^th of August, the people of Bungoma will decide.

“Why can’t Wetang’ula emulate his counterpart Mudavadi, he is aiming higher positions and not vying for any seat but for him, he is busy vying for the same seat over and over again,” he said.

This also comes after Ngome being at loggerheads with his boss on what was termed as frustrations in his office but it is a reprieve for Wangamati as they now reunite under one party pulling their weight behind each other.

Ngome was welcomed by the DAP-K party leader Wafula Wamunyinyi and the party patron Eugine Wamalwa.

“We Don’t Need You To Win The August Polls, ” Wamunyinyi Tells Off Kalonzo

Kanduyi member of parliament Wafula Wamunyinyi who adds up as the party leader of the Democratic Action Party Kenya (DAP-K) has said that the Azimio La Umoja coalition does not need Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to win the August presidential election.

Wamunyinyi told off Kalonzo, noting that ODM leader Raila Odinga does not need his support to become the next President of Kenya.

Speaking while giving out a 30 million bursary to help the less fortunate students in his constituency at the CDF offices, Wamunyinyi said that the DAP-K party is fully in AZIMIO and Kalonzo should not drag things from the past to cause havoc in the coalition.

He went ahead to ask the former vice president to declare his stand.

The law maker said that Kalonzo is aware that NASA died a long time ago and he should not use the agreements that were made there and apply them on AZIMIO.

According to Wamunyinyi, Kalonzo played a key role in demolishing NASA and he shouldn’t move forward from that.

“We all know that Baba is going to win these elections with or without Kalonzo. We just accepted him because we want to move forward together as a country. He should not bring up conditions because we already resolved and we already know that our presidential candidate is Raila,” he said.

This comes days after Kalonzo claimed that while in NASA, they had an agreement document dubbed “NASA DEAL” which stated that Raila was to pull his weight behind Kalonzo in 2022 weather he wins or not, as a presidential candidate and it was effective until 2022 and now Raila should honor the agreement and let him take over as a presidential candidate.

Wamunyinyi went further to say that by Kalonzo standing in between the 2007 election, it made it difficult to determine the president which led to post election violence asking him to stop being undecided and join whatever side he wants so that the country can have peaceful elections.
