A tough political contest is shaping up in Elgeyo Marakwet as more than 15 hopefuls have expressed interest to succeed Roads Cabinet Secretary nominee Kipchumba Murkomen.
Even before the cabinet nominations were approved by Parliament, a number of candidates have started their campaigns, albeit quietly.
Some hopefuls have been holding strategy meetings in top hotels in Elgeyo Marakwet and the neighbouring Uasin Gishu, while releasing online posters appealing to voters, as they anticipated Murkomen's nomination to the Cabinet.
