Kisii County Deputy Governor Joash Maangi has been endorsed for the Kisii County gubernatorial seat in 2022.
On Sunday, November 18, 2018, the Abamachoge clan said Maangi is capable of succeeding his boss Governor James Ongwae come 2022.
"Maangi is suitable for the top seat in 2022, unlike other aspirants who are only interested in chasing fame. As a clan from Bomachoge we have put aside our differences and hereby unanimously endorse Maangi for the governor's position," said an elder Enock Nyagaka.
Another elder Andrew Maonda has declared his confidence that Kisii County will be governed well when Maangi clinches the top seat.
"We are calling on Kisii residents to rally behind Maangi who has proved to be a worth leader since 2013 when he helped Ongwae won elections," said Maonda.
Mr. Maangi welcomed the endorsement saying he will not disappoint the electorates once he wins the seat.
"The river is flowing and nobody can stop this. I will ensure equal representation in my leadership once Kisii residents give me the opportunity in 2022," said Maangi.
