By GALGALO BOCHAMore by this AuthorEleven aspirants are seeking to unseat Tana River Woman Representative Halima Ware in a titanic race in the August 8 General Election. No political party can claim to be dominant in the county where the Orma, Wardei and Pokomo elders determine who will contest all the five elective seats. Mrs Ware, a former provincial administrator was then the preferred candidate endorsed by elders in that political set-up. The four include Kureisha Mohamed (Independent), Saadiya Hussein (Wiper), Maka Maimuna Mohamed (Party for Development and Reforms) and Luli Rashid who sought the elders’ blessings. That revolt would not in any way be helpful to Mrs Ware since the four would just share their community’s estimated 30,000 votes.
