Nakuru County is on the verge of making political history in the August election.

By the time of going to press Thursday, August 11, Senator Susan Kihika looked poised to occupy the governor's seat, with 183,062 votes accumulated in Molo, Gilgil, Subukia, Kuresoi North and South constituencies. Incumbent governor Lee Kinyanjui had 56,828 votes in the same areas.

Tabitha Karanja, CEO of Keroche, who has fought battles with government agencies over taxes, was also on her way to becoming Nakuru Senator on her first attempt in politics. She had 158,007 votes, while her nearest rival, former Infrastructure Cabinet Administrative Secretary Lawrence Karanja, had 66,200 votes from the five constituencies. The county has a total of 11 constituencies.
