Meru County Assembly boasted a good number of PhD holders in the last assembly, but none has been re-elected.
Only nine of the 45 elected MCAs at the assembly made it back, most of them through former Governor Kiraitu Murungi's Devolution Empowerment Party (DEP). Surprisingly, all the PhD holders lost their reelection bid.
The last assembly had several PhD holders and students, and a good number of master's and bachelor's degree holders.
