One of the contenders Richard Ngatia has already presented a line up. The line up includes him as the governor, George Aladwa as the deputy, Maina Kamanda as the senator, and nominated senator Beatrice Kwamboka as the women Representative.
This line up has been supported by Beatrice Kwamboka who presented it to the Gusii community as she seeks their support towards Ngatia.
