Published on October 20th, 2019, Kibra is set to hold a mini-poll on November 7th, with over 100,000 voters expected to cast their ballots.
Among the 24 candidates vying for the seat, Jubilee's McDonald Mariga has stepped up his campaign, engaging in door-to-door campaigns targeting women groups in Lindi, Makina, and Laini Saba wards.
Mariga's campaign focuses on sports development, promising to provide opportunities for the youth in sports, as he himself is a product of sports.
The Kibra parliamentary seat fell vacant following the death of former Member of Parliament Ken Okoth, who succumbed to cancer.
Mariga, along with Bernard 'Imran' Okoth, Ken Okoth's brother, and Eliud Owalo, are seen as the front runners in the race, with campaigns expected to end on November 4th, 48 hours before the polls.
