On Tuesday, it emerged another aspirant, other than the one nominated by party National Election Board (NEB), has a certificate to contest the position.
After the controversy that dogged party primaries for the seat, with Oburu Oginga and William Oduol claiming victory, the NEB chairman Franklin Bett said they had granted the nomination certificate to Otieno Okanja, who emerged third.
Hostile region
But Tuesday, it emerged that another aspirant, Cornel Rasanga, had been handed the certificate and is preparing to present it to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Efforts to contact Mr Bett for comment on the development were futile, as he could not be reached on his phone.
Meanwhile, an aspirant who lost in the nominations in Nakuru County, Joseph Nderitu Ngunju, has challenged Bett to state who among former Molo MP Njenga Mungai and cardiologist Omondi Ogada would fly party ticket for the county Senate.
The duo is embroiled in battles over party ticket after Dr Ogada was issued with the party certificate, while Mungai’s name appears in the IEBC list.
Mungai confirmed he has not received the party certificate, but his name is in the IEBC list. “It was only wise to recognise those who have fought hard for the survival of the party in a hostile region,” he said.
Nderitu said the same confusion was recorded in Nakuru Town West constituency.
