Residents of a county in Western Kenya are fed up with their son, a senior government official who is inconveniencing them with sirens as he hunts for votes. The official has declared he will be running for election in the August polls and is often in the village. Residents are wondering why the official feels so important that he pushes them off the roads using his sirens when he should be endearing himself to them. Residents are now calling for the intervention of Police IG Hilary Mutyambai (pictured) since the aspirant is not in the category of officials allowed to mount sirens on their vehicles.

A governor aspirant in Nyanza has put all machinery in place even if it means engaging in unethical practices. The aspirant has employed the services of two pollsters to influence party primaries. One of the pollsters is associated with the wife of a UDA-aligned legislator from Murang'a while the other pollster's top manager hails from Siaya. The politician has paid the two firms to conduct polls whose outcome is believed would be predetermined. The aspirant’s rivals want their political party to consider other means of identifying a candidate and not through the use of opinion polls.

The camp of a governor aspirant from Mt Kenya could be on the verge of collapse as his key allies and strategy team members have exited. The politician, who is said to have become a know-it-all has decided to hire services from a different county, dropping people who formed his think tank. The man, one of the main contenders for the seat, spends time in golf clubs and bars, wining and dining with his rich friends band believing that he is leading in the race. Should he heed the writing on the wall.

Residents of a constituency in Western have been left confused after their MP signaled a change of mind about quitting politics. He had initially said he would not run for election, saying he was getting out of politics. The lawmaker had said he was planning to concentrate on personal matters but recent pronouncements have raised doubts about his decision. Aspirants who were eyeing the MP's seat have now gone back to the drawing board since lawmaker could give them a run for their money if he enters the race.
