At least names of 30 aspirants have been forwarded to the electoral agency for vetting ahead of two ward by-elections in Nakuru County slated for March 4, 2021.
The seats fell vacant following the deaths of Samuel Mbugua of London Ward and Hell’s Gate’s John Njenga in November.
Last week Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) directed political parties interested in fielding candidates to send names of aspirants by Monday. But Jubilee Party Secretary General Nakuru branch Peter Cheruiyot said they sought an extension. We have engaged the IEBC to have more time for more aspirants who had not managed to obtain critical documents by today. They have until Wednesday to provide the party with the documents, said Cheruiyot on Tuesday.
