The contest for Nyamira gubernatorial seat has started to get hotter as more heavyweights from the county have shown interest and have also started early campaigns.
The current sitting governor John Obiero Nyagarama is expected to fight for his seat as more contestants continue to show interest as early as a year before we head to the next general elections.
Politicians from the county are already realigning themselves strategically for the 2017 gubernatorial race in what could be one of the most hotly contested elections that would by far overshadow the 2013 Mochama Ontieka vs. John Nyagarama.
The jostling by the politicians as they seek to pick favorable running mates ahead for the 2017 elections has not gone unnoticed with some of the ODM party county officials now calling for soberness among the leaders.
The three most anticipated politicians expected vie include Mochama Ontieka who came second in the last election and he has a good number of followers, Dr. Evans Nyatigo who attracts followers who are learned from the county and finally the former Nyaribari Masaba MP Walter Nyambati who is well known for being vocal and firm when it comes to decision making.
