Voters in Kericho and Malindi go to the polls today in parliamentary by elections that have offered rival Jubilee and CORD coalitions a dress rehearsal for next year's General Election. How the by-elections turn out for the parties is seen as a pointer in terms of political strength ahead of next year's polls.
In Kericho voters will pick their Senator from among six candidates although the contest has narrowed to one between the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) and Kanu candidates.
