Former Journalist David Ohito has replaced Former Police Spokesperson Charles Owino as the running mate for Siaya Gubernatorial Aspirant Nicholas Gumbo.
Owino opted out of the race on Wednesday saying that he was returning to the National Police Service to take up a role.
Ohito is the secretary general for the United Democratic Movement (UDM) party led by Mandera Governor Ali Roba.
He has also previously served as the Chief of Staff in Mandera country during Roba’s tenure.
Gumbo will face it off with Orange Democratic Movement gubernatorial aspirant James Orengo.
The former lawmaker had intended to contest on an ODM ticket but defected to UDM after Orengo secured a direct ticket.
