Intense rivalry is already playing out in Narok, Nakuru and Bomet counties even as the clock ticks towards the August 8 polls. In Nakuru, Governor Kinuthia Mbugua and his arch-rival Lee Kinyanjui are leaving nothing to chance. Aspirants eyeing the Jubilee Party ticket include National Assembly Deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso and former Konoin MP Julius Kones. Laboso has anchored her campaigns on development, coexistence and tolerance saying the county has suffered enough of embarrassment and intolerance fuelled by Governor Ruto. Another hotly contested seat in Nakuru County will be the senatorial post.
