Governor Vihiga County Wilber Ottichilo. [Jonah Onyango, Standard]
Four aspirants have already declared interest to unseat Vihiga Governor Wilber Ottichilo as the clock ticks towards the next General Election.
Those who have declared interest in unseating the first-term governor include his predecessor Moses Akaranga, Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi, businessman Alex Kidaka and Senator George Khaniri.
Josphat Amadi, who ran as an independent candidate in the last elections and Kennedy Butiko who vied on a UDP ticket, are yet to declare whether they will be on the ballot.
From December last year, some of the aspirants have been bankrolling sporting activities and charitable events across the county in a bid to endear themselves to the electorate.
