Mudavadi’s ANC Party will also have to fight tooth and nail to retain the Matungu Constituency seat which fell vacant following the demise of MP Justus Murunga last month.

Moses Wetangula’s Ford Kenya is facing a herculean task in defending the Kabuchai seat. The Ford Kenya leadership wrangles have led to the emergence of two factions that might affect the party’s preparations for the by-elections in Bungoma. Wetangula and Mudavadi have already agreed to field joint-candidates in Matungu and Kabuchai.
