Why Kabuchai and Matungu mini polls crucial for top rivals


THE STANDARD
POLITICS
The March 4 by-elections in Matungu and Kabuchai constituencies now appear to be test-runs for top political stalwarts, as they buckle up for next year's General Election.
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA), associated with Deputy President William Ruto, has fielded candidates in both mini polls, while the DP has been frequenting Western Kenya to market his presidential bid.
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s ODM is also trying its luck in Matungu, despite a major onslaught from its National Super Alliance (Nasa) partner Amani National Congress (ANC), which is backed by Ford-Kenya.
While ANC has sponsored a candidate in Matungu, it is backing a Ford-Kenya candidate in Kabuchai, which is Senator Moses Wetang’ula’s base.

Wiper has been accused of using State resources to campaign for its Machakos Senate by-election candidate, Agnes Kavindu. 
Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU) Secretary-General Phillipe Sadja yesterday also claimed Wiper was using the provincial administration to distribute affirmative action funds and mobilise residents on behalf of the party, which he said was tantamount to electoral fraud.
Sadja asked the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to swiftly probe the claims and take action against Wiper. 
“It is purel voter bribery. As CCU, we shall be writing officially to IEBC on the matter. We need to inform public officers that there is a personal liability in breaching impartiality according to the law,” Sadja told a press conference.

Elegeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen on Friday said they have ditched the Jubilee party for the newly formed United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Speaking at the party’s Hustler Centre headquarters in Nairobi during the unveiling of candidates for the upcoming by-elections, Murkomen (pictured) said UDA formerly PDR was in a coalition with the ruling Jubilee Party and there was no crime joining it.
“There is no difference, we have left one room within Jubilee party and joined another which is clean and has been renovated,” he said.
Murkomen said they opted to join the party after being blocked from the ruling party by the Kieleweke faction.
