Former Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa and former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha have launched their bids to unseat Trans-Nzoia County Governor George Natembeya in the upcoming elections.

• Chris Wamalwa announced his campaign on Saturday, November 22nd, emphasizing inclusivity for Trans-Nzoia's cosmopolitan population and seeking support from all communities, starting with the Luyha elders.
• Susan Nakhumicha declared her intention to represent the entire county as Governor, citing the Kenyan Constitution's democratic freedom for any citizen, regardless of gender, to hold leadership positions.
• Governor Natembeya has not yet responded to these declarations, but previously vowed to unite the Western region under new leadership despite intimidation.
