The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media
platforms spanning newspaper print
operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national
and international interest.
After gruelling campaigns which climaxed with colourful swearing-in, the real task has started for 16 governors who will spend the next five years delicately negotiating with their ward representatives to implement every policy.
These governors won the crown but could be held hostage by Members of the Country Assembly (MCAs) in their counties because they lack the numbers in the assembly.
The most outstanding case is that of Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza and her Taita Taveta counterpart, Andrew Mwadime, who were both elected on an independent ticket to lead counties whose allegiance is split between Kenya Kwanza under President-elect William Ruto and Azimio la Umoja Kenya One coalition leader Raila Odinga.
