The elders from Uasin Gishu told Sang to shelve his hopes in favour of former Cabinet Minister, Kipruto Arap Kirwa.
The elders noted that the seat was too big for Sang at the moment and he should find something else to do.
Led by Vincent Rono, the elders said the community was rallying behind Kirwa and that Sang’s decision will sabotage the community’s political agenda.
“We have settled on Kirwa to succeed Ole Ndiema and Sang’s announcement to contest the same seat in unwelcome,” said Rono in Kitale.
