Some members of the Ogiek community have asked the ruling Jubilee Party to nominate one of their own to take the place of the late senator Victor Prengei.

Prengei, who was nominated by Jubilee to represent minority and special interest groups in the Senate, died in a road accident along the Nakuru-Marigat Road on August 16. He was 37.
