The former Foreign Affairs assistant minister will have to outdo himself in the next Tuesday's by-election.The by-election was called by the IEBC after Jubilee's candidate Leonard Mwamba, died in a road accident at Nyakoe area in Kisii-Kisumu road before the August 8 General Election.Jubilee party nominated Anthony Kibagandi to face Onyonka.Onyonka was elected on the ODM ticket in 2013, but during the party primaries in the run-up to August polls, he was defeated by Samuel Omwando and claimed he was rigged out.He since then decamped to Ford Kenya, which is affiliated with NASA. Onyonka is among NASA candidates: Omwando (ODM ) Andrew Maubi (wiper) and Justus Mochoge (ANC) who are seeking the seat.
