Kiambu, Kenya: The race for the Gatundu South parliamentary by-elections has shown signs of vibrancy ahead of The National Alliance (TNA) primaries scheduled for Monday.

Joyce Wanjiku Ngugi, the widow of immediate former MP Jossy Ngugi, who collapsed and died in his bathroom last month, made the unexpected announcement early this week that she would be joining the crowded field of contestants.
