The forthcoming Kabuchai by-election is likely to be a battle of wits between Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula (pictured) and Deputy President William Ruto. While Mr Wetang’ula would be pulling all stops to ensure his Ford Kenya party retains the seat, Dr Ruto would be seeking a win for his Tangatanga team to boost his 2022 presidential bid. He is likely to take a lead command in the ward, which could eat into the Ford Kenya candidate’s votes. Political pundits say Wetang’ula could be plotting for a tough duel to guarantee the Lion party the seat. Ford Kenya rebels are said to have conspired to campaign against the party candidate.
