The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has cleared six candidates to contest for the Elgeyo Marakwet senatorial seat in an exercise marred by drama, disappointment and jubilation.

Former Marakwet West MP William Kisang (UDA), Mr Timothy Tanui (The New Democrats), human rights activist Ms Jerotich Seii (Safina), Mr Tim Kipchumba (Party of Peace and Development), lawyer Andrew Mengich (Independent) and a 27-year-old statistician Kelvin Kemboi will square it on January 5, 2023, at the ballot.
