Comeback kings: Former governors reclaim seats

Relationships
 Two of the former governors who have been re-elected so far.

Four former governors have bounced back to the office after five years in the cold.

Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka (Bungoma) and his counterparts Benjamin Cheboi (Baringo), Joshua Irungu (Laikipia) and Nadhif Jama (Garissa) were yesterday savouring their victory after putting up a spirited fight to reclaim their seats.

At the Coast, Issa Timamy of Amani National Congress (ANC) was last night poised to recapture the Lamu governor seat he lost in 2017 to the incumbent Fahim Twaha of Jubilee. In Kilifi, former Lands Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Gideon Munga'ro was also poised to win the governor seat after being in the political cold for five years. In 2017, he contested for the seat and lost to Mr Amason Kingi.
