NAIROBI, KENYA: Dr Evans Kidero, Gideon Mbuvi and Najib balala have been cleared by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to run for elective posts.
Kidero, who was the former MD of Mumias Sugar Company, has been given the nod to contest for the Nairobi governor seat on the ODM ticket. He named his running mate as Jonathan Mueke, a 36-year old IT expert.
Outgoing Makadara MP Gideon Mbuvi, who was also cleared, will be TNA’s Nairobi senatorial candidate. Activist Okiya Omtatah who is contesting for same seat under Ford Kenya has also been cleared. He was earlier turned away by the electoral body after he failed to meet the stipulated requirements.

Having cleared the Presidential Aspirants, IEBC has moved on to those vying for senatorial and gubernatorial seats.
