Narok County Senator Ledama Ole Kina has said former Kieni MP Kanini Kega deserves nomination to the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA).
In a statement on Thursday, Ledama pointed out that Kega unwaveringly supported Raila Odinga's Azimio coalition.
"We need to take care of @kaninikega1 he stood firm with Azimio and now paying the price. EALA could be a soft landing for my brother from Mt Kenya," he tweeted.
Kega was among the leaders who publicly and ardently supported Raila for the top seat.
He, however, lost the parliamentary seat he was seeking to defend to Njoroge Wainaina of the ruling UDA party.
He had served as the Kieni MP for two terms, being the only MP who was re-elected in 2017 in Nyeri County.
Kega conceded defeat before the results were announced and said he was moving on to try new things in life.
In 2017, Jubilee Party nominated former Kamukunji MP Simon Mbugua, Tigania East MP Mpuru Aburi, Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia, Florence Jematiah and former Mandera North MP Aden Nooru Mohammed.
The defunct National Super Alliance (Nasa) had Oburu Oginga, who is currently Siaya senator; former Balambala MP Abdikadir Aden, former Wajir Woman Rep Fatuma Ibrahim Ali and Kennedy Musyoka.
