Machakos governor candidates put up a show of might on Thursday when they sought IEBC clearance for the August 8 poll. Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua was first to be cleared. Mutua arrived at IEBC offices on Thursday with running mate Francis Maliti, wife Lilian Nganga and several MCAs and CECs. More than 20 boda boda and taxi and tuk tuk drivers also accompanied him, chanting Maendeleo Chap Chap slogans. He will face Wiper candidate Wavinya Ndeti, Jubilee's Lemi Muia and independent politician Bernard Kiala (Deputy Governor).
