In a ceremony at ANC Deputy Party Leader Kipruto arap Kirwa’s Ngonyek home in Cherangany, Khaemba said he would seek to be re-elected under the ANC ticket during the August 8 poll. The governor was received by ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi in a ceremony witnessed by a multi-ethnic council of elders. Last week Trans Nzoia Ford Kenya officials ejected Khaemba from the party, claiming he had been disrespectful to party leader Moses Wetang’ula, often refusing to pick his phone calls.
