The widow of the late Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng'eno, Naiyanoi Ng'eno, has withdrawn from the race to succeed her husband. The withdrawal has led to a significant shift in political alliances within the constituency.

• Naiyanoi Ng'eno withdrew from the UDA parliamentary nominations due to personal reasons and ongoing recovery from her husband's loss.
• Allies of the late MP have now united behind Bernard Ngeno, the late MP's former personal assistant, as their preferred candidate.
• The by-election, necessitated by MP Ng'eno's death in a helicopter crash on February 28, 2026, is scheduled for May 14 and is expected to cost Sh59 million.
