Cabinet Administrative Secretary for Transport Chris Obure has resigned in order to pursue a career in politics.
The long-serving government official is scheduled to challenge outgoing gusii elder James Ongwae for the position of Kisii Governor.
As the battle for the Kisii governor’s seat heats up, outgoing Transport CAS Chris Obure has revealed his running companion.
During a ceremony at Mbaka’s home on Tuesday morning, Obure announced finance expert William Mbaka as his running mate.
“I have known Mbaka for long. He has served the government in various ministries and I have never heard his name being mentioned adversely. Mbaka is an honest, respected and trustworthy person whom we can work with,” Obure said.
More than ten candidates have declared their interest in succeeding outgoing Governor James Ongwae, who has served two terms.
Janet Ong’era, Kisii Woman Representative, Joash Maangi, Nyaribari Masaba MP Ezekiel Machogu, Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati, and former South Mugirango MPs Manson Oyongo and Omingo Magara are among the candidates.
Charles Chweya Matoke, Racheal Otundo, and Alfred Nyangweso are among the others.
