Battle lines have been drawn in Kilifi County with the race to succeed Governor Amason Kingi shaping up for three main contestants, two of whom are under Deputy President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance.

The region that has been dominated by ODM for the last 15 years recently witnessed the entry of Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Kingi’s Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) which are fighting to change the political landscape.
