A Machakos Woman Representative candidate is reported to have bowed out of the race in support of Agnes Kavindu Muthama who is vying for the seat on a Jubilee Party ticket.
According to a report by Musyi FM, Ms Lucy Sila who was vying as an Independent Candidate said that she believes Ms Kavindu stands the best chance to win against the incumbent, Dr Susan Musyoka.
Ms Kavindu is the estranged wife of National Super Alliance (NASA) leader and Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama.
She made headlines when she got a late entry ticket to contest for the seat under a Jubilee ticket.
