Is Nairobi Senate race shaping up to be the hottest contest?

Crystal Asige’s entry and her legislative track record adds complexity to a race already tightened by Winnie Odinga and Jalang’o’s bids.

Nominated Senator Crystal Asige declared her intention to contest the seat on Sunday, October 18, citing her legislative record as central to her campaign.

The contest for Nairobi’s Senate seat is gathering momentum, with the entry of nominated Senator Crystal Asige adding a new dimension to a race that had already attracted considerable interest from East African Legislative Assembly MP Winnie Odinga and Lang’ata MP Phelix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang’o.

What initially appeared to be a potential contest between two politicians associated with the late Raila Odinga’s political legacy is now taking shape around three politicians with similar political roots and legislative experience.
