Gachagua also referenced the late Johanna Ng’eno, suggesting that the moment carries deep historical and emotional weight for the constituency.

“If there is ever a great opportunity one that the late Hon. Johanna Ng’eno would have wished for in his lifetime, it is the choice of Hon.

Rotich. You hold a historic and powerful opportunity in your hands. It is time to take action and make your voice heard,” he further said.

Rotich will face-off with David Kipsang Keter who won the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) nominations a tightly contested race.
