Kimaiyo has declared his interest to unseat incumbent Kipchumba Murkomen on a Kanu ticket.

Raila said Kimaiyo has the requisite experience to end clashes in the region.

The opposition leader also urged residents to vote out Jubilee in next year’s elections.

“You can’t complain about burying people every weekend, yet you remain in the same government that has failed to protect your people,” he said. 

Raila was in the Kerio Valley to condole with families of victims of attacks.

The Kerio Valley conflict has left more than 10 dead and more than 1000 displaced.
