President Uhuru Kenyatta is facing a major political dilemma in replacing the six ousted nominated senators, as some of their potential replacements are allies of Deputy President William Ruto.

United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Veronica Maina is among the top names in a closed party list filed with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), making her an automatic pick should the six lose their seats.
