Nairobi — Leading candidates in the Bungoma by-elections are making their final campaign pitches before the by-elections on Thursday.

All political parties are expected to end their campaigns by 6 pm as the two-month rigorous process officially comes to an end.

Speaker Moses Wetangula led several leaders drawn from the western region to traverse the county on a voting hunting mission for the Ford Kenya Party candidate Mwalimu David Wakoli Wafula.

"Together with other leaders in this region, we have asked our people to reject election losers since we need stable, confident, and visionary leaders in Bungoma," Wetangula stated

He described Wafula as a former Ford Kenya Party youth leader in Bungoma who worked in his office diligently, with honour and the highest level of humility

"Wafula is an intelligent, energetic young leader who has shown great leadership in the years I have worked with him. His performance record speaks for itself," the Speaker added.

Wafula says he has what it takes to fit in the shoes of Wetangula and carry out proper oversight, legislation, and representation role to steer our county to greater heights in terms of development.

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has drummed up support for former Bumula MP Mwambu Mabonga who is flying the United Democratic Alliance ticket.

Bungoma County Returning Officer Grace Rono reminded the senatorial candidates that the campaigns will end on Tuesday at 6 pm.

She lauded the candidates for maintaining peace during campaigns asking them to continue with the same.

Rono said the county tallying centre will be at Mabanga Agricultural Training Centre and there will be 1,373 polling stations.
