[Edward Kiplimo, Standard]Former governors who lost the previous elections in counties are planning a comeback in the 2022 General Election. Speaking on Citizen TV today, former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale is against governors either seeking re-election or vying for seats lower than that of county chief. Khalwale continued, "I expect that when a governor loses an election, it is politically hygienic to run for President or disappear altogether." The former senator added that it is worse when the said returnees "cleverly run" to vie in other counties. "The governor's seat is very difficult," the Kiminini lawmaker said.
