Campaigns for the Huruma Ward in Uasin Gishu are in top gear after 13 candidates were cleared by the IEBC to vie in the March 4th by-election. The by-election is being held to replace former area MCA Pater Chomba, who died of Covid-19 in October last year. She had previously served as a nominated MCA at the Uasin Gishu Assembly. IEBC returning officer for the Huruma by-election Peris Maiyo says so far, the campaigns have been smooth. Uasin Gishu County Commissioner Stephen Kihara said they would ensure strict security measures remain in place in the area and other parts of Eldoret through the election period.
