Four competing political formations have already emerged in the looming by-election.
The late MP David Kiaraho died on March 29, 2026 while undergoing cancer treatment at Nairobi Hospital.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has formally declared the Ol Kalou parliamentary seat vacant following the death of area MP David Kiaraho, setting the stage for a high-stakes by-election that has already attracted at least 20 aspirants.
In a gazette notice issued on Tuesday night, Mr Wetang’ula notified the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of the vacancy and directed the commission to conduct a by-election within 90 days in line with Article 101(4) of the Constitution.
