A political showdown is looming in Kisii County as Kitutu Chache South Member of Parliament Richard Onyonka announced that he was planning to be crowned as the Gusii spokesperson.
The post is currently held by Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati.
Speaking on Wednesday in Getembe area the MP said that he was the most suited to take the seat as he understood Gusii politics than any other local leader.
"I will not allow Mr Arati to mislead the community with the self-declared position and for that reason, I also want to be crowned the Gusii spokesperson," he said.
Mr Onyonka dismissed the city MP's recent activities in the region saying that he was only suitable for city politics and not Kisii county's.
His remarks come barely a few days after a section of lawmakers in the region vowed to back Mr Arati in his new position.
