Law professor and former Constitution review Commissioner, Dr Maranga Bagwasi, has joined what seems to be a hotly contested Kisii County’s gubernatorial race.

He joins other key candidates; Senator Chris Obure, Lawyer Lumumba Nyaberi and Manson Nyamweya (MP South Mugirango) in the campaigns to wrestle the seat from Governor James Ongwae.

His entry into the race means all major clans in Kisii - Abagetutu, Ababasi and Amanyaribari will be presenting their own for the county top seat.

The three clans account for more than half of the total registered votes in Kisii County.
