The Nyamira senator race is turning out to be a two-horse race after incumbent Kennedy Mong’are declared he will vie for President. East Africa Legislative Assembly member Joseph Kiangoi and senior counsel Okong’o O’Mogeni are considered the favourites to replace him. O’Mogeni, who will contest on the ODM ticket, is the only aspirant who has applied for nomination so far. Kiangoi, a former North Mugirango/Borabu MP, will battle it out with Timothy Rioba in the Jubilee nominations. Meanwhile, advocate Edward Begi and political analyst David Omato two political analysts have dismissed Okong’o’s presidential bid.
