Kitui by-election puts Kalonzo's grip to the test as Ruto camp seeks to gain ground

A former Kitui MCA who resigned to become the Kitui County Assembly clerk has opened up about the decision that has set the stage for a political showdown between President William Ruto and Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

Harrison Maluki was the Migwani Ward representative until he resigned on August 6, triggering a by-election that has quickly become a test of political influence in Kitui ahead of the 2027 General Election.
