By-elections across the country
Worth noting, across the nation, there are 23 pending by-elections, encompassing six National Assembly seats, one Senate seat, and sixteen Member of County Assembly (MCA) positions.
These vacancies have arisen due to a number of reasons, including deaths and appointments to other roles.
Among the notable former Members of Parliament whose seats are now vacant are the former Baringo Senator William Cheptumo, the former Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi, who was appointed to the Cabinet, and the former Mbere North MP Geoffrey Ruku, also appointed to the Cabinet.
Sadly, the former Kasipul MP Ong’ondo Were, the former Banisa MP Hassan Maalim, and the former Malava MP Malulu Injendi have all passed away.
