Candidates vying for Matungu and Kabuchai parliamentary by-elections wrapped up their campaigns yesterday and shifted focus to the elections tomorrow.
Although the contest has been touted as a battle for national political stalwarts out to test their popularity ahead of the 2022 presidential elections, there are many issues that will determine the winners.
Clan loyalty, the welfare of sugar farmers due to mismanagement of Mumias Sugar company, money and 2022 succession politics could determine the outcome in Matungu by-election according to political commentator Martin Andati.
