The stage is set for a high-stakes political showdown this February 26, as the IEBC officially clears 23 warriors to battle for four vacant thrones.
In the dusty expanses of Isiolo South, a heavy silence lingers after the passing of MP Mohamed Tubi Bidu, but the race to succeed him has just ignited.
Three contenders have stepped into the arena, with Tubi Mohamed (UDA) and Bina Mohamed (Jubilee) leading a fierce charge to claim the National Assembly seat.
Meanwhile, as the battle for the grassroots intensifies in the wards, Evurore Ward has become a crowded battlefield with 10 candidates jostling for the attention of over 26,000 voters.
In Muminji and West Kabras, the air is thick with the scent of campaign trails as 13 more hopefuls seek to fill the void left by ambitious predecessors.
The clock is ticking toward the February 23 deadline, the final hour when the megaphones must go silent and the posters stop fluttering.
Armed with the Candidates Registration Management System, the IEBC watches from the sidelines, ensuring every ballot is a true reflection of the people’s will.
