President William Ruto is expected to visit Kandara Constituency in Murang'a today, in his first political visit in the region since he formed his Cabinet.
The visit comes barely three days after he fully constituted his government after his Cabinet Secretaries nominees took their oath of office. Two of his Cabinet Secretaries, Alice Wahome (Water and Sanitation) and Njuguna Ndungu (Treasury) hail from Kandara and the elevation of Wahome has thrust the constituency into a campaign mode since she resigned from her parliamentary position to serve in Ruto's government.
Over 10 aspirants have started campaigns to succeed Wahome, and all are vying on the ruling UDA party.
