The helicopters have disappeared from the horizon. The campaign drums and ululations have gone silent, but tension and anxiety is palpable as Migori goes  to the polls tomorrow to elect a new Senator.

At the close of the official campaigns on Friday, there was no outright favourite as  the two front runners -- ODM’s Ochillo Ayacko and Eddy Oketch of the Federal Party of Kenya -- both expressed confidence of clinching the seat.
