The race for the Kisumu County Women Representative seat is heating up as the August 2017 general election draws closer.
Interestingly, the duel is zeroing down on incumbent Rose Nyamunga and ODM Deputy Organising Secretary Roza Buyu.
Ms Nyamunga on Saturday at an event in Nyando refuted claims that she was preparing to challenge Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch.
She said she would defend her seat as Women Representative Kisumu County.
Nyamunga welcomed Ms Buyu to the race but stated that she was confident she would successfully clinch the seat.
"I have the ability to mount a successful campaign that will leave my opponents gasping for breath," she said at the event in Ahero town.
"The people of Kisumu County have faith in me and they will give me the mandate to represent them."
Ms Buyu in 2013 contested against Mr Aluoch but was trounced by the Ford Kenya lawyer.
She petitioned court against Mr Aluoch's election but lost.
