This comes after Msambweni MP Suleiman Dori passed on back in March at Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa where he had been receiving treatment for cancer.
Kahawa Wendani Ward Representative Cyrus Omondi also died back in March while he was in India for a workshop alongside his colleagues in the Education Committee.
Kisumu County Assembly’s acting Speaker, Elisha Oraro, resigned as the Kisumu North Ward MCA to vie for the Speaker's seat.
Wundanyi-Mbale ward representative Beatrice Mwabili succumbed to gall bladder cancer back in March while Lake View MCA Karanja Mburu died in a grisly road accident back in April along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
With the reduction of Covid-19 cases across the country, IEBC appears to be ready to conduct the by-elections.
