Activist Jerotich Seei has lost her bid to contest for the Elgeyo Marakwet Senate seat under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party ticket.
In the party primaries that were conducted on Saturday November 26, Jerotich Seei came fourth with 8,540 votes.
Former Marakwet West legislator William Kisang emerged with 28,136 votes, followed by Tim Kipchumba and Jonah Tanui who had a tie of 26,766 votes.
In a tweet on Sunday, November 27, Seei said that her journey has not deemed by her loss in the UDA Party primaries.
"To the wonderful people of Elgeyo Marakwet County kongoi missing for your votes. Against the backdrop of all that transpired including the low voter turnout that magically evolved into an extraordinarily high one, I will simply say that my journey to the Senate is not over," she wrote.
The Elgeyo Marakwet Senate seat fell vacant following the appointment of Kipchumba Murkomen as the Cabinet Secretary for Roads, Transport and infrastructure by President William Ruto.
