Barely three days after Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama said he would not seek re-election, accusing Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka of promoting ‘undemocratic principles’, the party has handed a direct ticket to another candidate.
A former chief officer in the government of Machakos County, Jackson Musyoka Kala, who was initially in the race for the Machakos Town parliamentary seat, has been confirmed the Wiper party nominee for the Senate race in the August 8 elections.
