Nearly 300 elders from the Kapkaon clan convened on Thursday at the Mogondo home of the late Emurua Dikirr MP, Johana Ngong Ng'eno, to deliberate on the political future of the parliamentary seat he left behind.
The meeting brought together members of the immediate family, clan elders, and close political allies of the late legislator. After lengthy consultations, the gathering unanimously resolved to support his spouse, Naiyanoi Ng'eno Ntutu, as the preferred candidate to succeed him.
According to participants, the decision was driven by a desire to preserve and continue the leadership legacy associated with the late MP, who represented Emurua Dikirr.
During the meeting, several key allies of the late legislator pledged their support for Ntutu’s possible bid for the seat. Among those who attended were political figures Benard Ng’eno Buluu and Eng. Benard Rono, who both committed to mobilizing support for her across the constituency.
Clan elders stated that backing Ntutu would ensure continuity of development projects and maintain the political direction championed by the late MP during his tenure.
The meeting concluded with a call for unity among residents of Emurua Dikirr ahead of the expected by-election, with leaders urging the community to rally behind the proposed candidate.
However, it remains unclear whether Ntutu will officially declare her candidature once the electoral process for the vacant seat is formally announced.
Residents of Emurua Dikirr are now expected to weigh in on the proposal as political activity begins to intensify across the constituency.
