Battle grounds are now drawn for the Uasin Gishu Woman Representative seat after the Independent Electoral and boundaries Commission (IEBC) cleared five candidates to vie in the August polls.
Three candidates, Kipkemboi Grace of Maendeleo Chap Chap, Kanu's Josephine Jeruto and Rael Chebichii, an independent candidate, were cleared on Wednesday.
Former Register of Judiciary Gladys Boss Shollei who is vying on a Jubilee Party ticket and Moira Chepkok of ANC were cleared on Tuesday.
Analysts however say it will be a two-horse race for the Women Representative seat between Shollei and Chebichii.
Chebichii lost to Shollei during the Jubilee party primaries but disputed the results claiming she was rigged out.Speaking to press after being cleared to vie, the jubilated Chebichii said she was ready for a re-march with Shollei.
"I am happy to get a go ahead to vie for this seat. I want to urge my supporters to pray for me and get ready for the political fight ahead," she said.
