The battle for the Emurua Dikirr constituency seat in the August 8 General Election will be a Jubilee-Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM) affair. Mr Ngeno was considered as the best bet for Patrick Ntutu’s running mate in the race for the Narok governorship seat before he announced his intention to defend his seat. “My activism also saw the Kipsigis community given their own constituency with four wards prior to the 2013 elections,” Mr Ngeno said. The battle for the top seat in Narok County will see Governor Tunai of Jubilee lock horns with CCM’s Patrick Ntutu. While Mr Ntutu has settled on a youthful Mr Weldon Rop, Mr Tunai has not shown any intention to replace Ms Evelyne Aruasa, thus both have staked a claim on the swing Kipsigis vote in the county.
