The just concluded Kandara by-election has exposed the political differences in Murang'a County.

The seat fell vacant after Alice Wahome, who had been elected for a third term in the August 9, 2022, General Election, was appointed Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary.

After resigning as MP, her closest competitor, Chege Njuguna, who emerged second with 12,313 votes, on a Chama Cha Kazi ticket, quickly joined the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ahead of the by-election.
