Edith Nyenze’s bid to replace her late husband Francis Nyenze as the Kitui West MP is as good as done after she received backing from rivals.

Jubilee Party secretary-general Raphael Tuju in a statement on Friday said they will not field a candidate in the race but will back Mrs Nyenze after she bagged the Wiper ticket in free and fair nominations.
