The Kenya Kwanza Alliance on Monday, 4th April unveiled gubernatorial and senatorial aspirants for Kisii County ahead of the 9th August General Election.

In a statement, Deputy President William Ruto announced that UDA’s Ezekiel Machogu will vie for the county’s top seat.

The decision was arrived at after Amani National Congress (ANC) gubernatorial candidate Charles Matoke dropped his bid to support UDA candidate Machogu.

The DP also announced that the Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi will fly Kwenya Kwanza’s flag in the senatorial race.

Okeng’o Joel Nyambane of UDA who was also eying for the senatorial seat abandoned his ambition to support Maangi.

DP Ruto said that the move came after extensive consultations in the Kwenya Kwanza team.

“I want to congratulate our teams in Kisii County who have tirelessly worked to ensure that we have seamless working relationships between parties in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance,” the DP stated.

“The honourable Ezekiel Machogu who’s our governor candidate in Kisii now being joined by Charles Matoke who was the ANC governor candidate in Kisii who has graciously accepted to support Machogu in the Kisii gubernatorial race,” he added.

The DP thanked Mr Matoke for his gracious gesture of stepping down for Mr. Machogu.

He also thanked ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi for providing leadership in the consensus process.

The DP further assured all UDA aspirants of a fair nomination process as the party heads into primaries on 14th April.
