With the anticipated referendum tentatively set for June this year, the prevailing political environment has created an opportunity for Rift Valley leaders who lost their seats, to make a comeback.
In Nakuru County, among the politicians expected to seek a comeback is the county’s inaugural Governor Kinuthia Mbugua who lost in the 2017 General Election to Lee Kinyanjui.
Mr Mbugua, after losing to Kinyanjui during the Jubilee party primaries, sought to vie as an independent candidate but was prevailed upon by President Uhuru Kenyatta to step down and was later appointed State House comptroller.
