Baringo governor Benjamin Cheboi has maintained that he still the county boss despite losing the nominations.

According to Cheboi, his government is intact until the next governor is sworn in after the August general election.

Governor Cheboi lost the Jubilee Party ticket to Stanley Kiptis during last Monday’s polls.

Cheboi garnered 21,450, while Kiptis won with 65,426.

 “Who said if one wins the party primaries he or she is guaranteed to win in the General Election? People should only celebrate after the winner is announced in August,” Cheboi said.

He said his administration is still serving residents.

“I’m also certain the staff will remain unmoved if at all another government takes over in August,” Cheboi said.
