Jubilee and CORD are gearing up for another bruising battle in the impending by-elections following the nomination of two legislators to the Cabinet.

The nomination of ODM Malindi North MP Dan Kazungu to the Mining docket is likely to trigger another round of acrimonious campaigns not much different from the Kajiado Central by-election which was called when former ODM MP Joseph ole Nkaisery was nominated then appointed Interior Ministry Cabinet Secretary.
