This wealth of experience is unrivalled and this is the reason why Kitui County cannot wait to elect Wakili Nyamu as senator. What is also giving him an edge is on regional balance of the county politics.

Outgoing governor Ngilu comes from Kitui Central while the man of the moment, the incoming governor Dr Julius Malombe also comes from Kitui Central. This makes it very tricky for any other senatorial aspirant from Kitui Central to sail through. Being the only credible, experienced and hand on senatorial aspirant from the Ndee Nation, Wakili Nyamu stands tall. The senatorial race will definitely be a two horse race between senator Enoch Wambua and wakili Nyamu.
