Battle for Ol Kalou parliamentary seat takes shape

The battle lines are now drawn in the race to fill the Ol Kalou parliamentary seat, left vacant following the death of area MP David Kiaraho. The ruling UDA party and DCP have unveiled their candidates after concluding party primaries on Saturday, setting the stage for a high-stakes by-election contest. Meanwhile, the Jubilee Party is yet to settle on its flag bearer, with reports suggesting the party could opt for a consensus approach to pick one candidate from the three aspirants in the race. The July 16TH by-election is shaping up as a crucial political test for the rival parties, with the outcome expected to gauge their influence ahead of 2027 general election.
