NYANZA POLITICIANS HAVE STARTED FIGHTING OVER BBI

Signs the delimitation of the proposed BBI constituencies will generate fireworks are already on display.

A tussle for a constituency in Nyanza over the planned division is threatening to divide the local leadership. Already a second-term governor is embroiled in a bitter supremacy battle with an area MP over the rationale of dividing the constituency.

The  governor wants one of the wards in the old constituency included in the proposed new unit. But the MP is against the move as it would disfranchise his voters.

The locals have now petitioned the regional political supremo to intervene and ensure fairness in the looming delineation of the electoral unit.
