A supremacy battle has erupted between Senate Majority Leader Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot and Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ngeno over the control of South Rift region politics.
The battle for the region's kingship has been ignited by Ngeno's political activities in Kericho County. Cheruiyot accuses Ngeno of overstepping his jurisdiction and maligning his leadership.
