“I was among those who proposed that Presidential candidates be allowed to stand for other lesser seats,” said Wamalwa. The constitution should be amended to allow presidential candidates vie for other positions at the same time, Water CS Eugene Wamalwa has said. “The problems we are currently facing are partly because the presidential candidates who lost are now out in the cold,”. Before the enactment of the constitution in 2010, those who vie for President could also stand for legislative seats. Wamalwa said presidential candidates should be able to vie for MP and Senator.
