Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and President William Ruto/PCSThe late Isiolo South Member of Parliament, Tubi Bidu Mohamed/FILEA fresh battle is looming between President William Ruto and his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, in the Isiolo South MP by-election. Apart from the Isiolo South MP seat, a fresh battle is unfolding between the ruling UDA party and the opposition. The West Kabras ward seat was once occupied by David Ndakwa, who has since been elected to the MP seat following the November 2025 by-election. The united opposition's strategy for the Isiolo South MP seat remains unclear, largely because Jubilee already claims the space with Bina’s candidacy. As the campaign season begins, the Isiolo South by-election is set to mirror the current political landscape, especially in the Northeastern region.
