The race to succeed outgoing Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka is gathering momentum, with Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa unveiling a populist campaign platform anchored on healthcare reforms, free ambulance services, road construction and support for vulnerable families ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during a public engagement forum at Mungore Market in Bumula Constituency on Sunday, he sought to position himself as a service-delivery-focused candidate in the increasingly competitive gubernatorial race.
“We want road construction and maintenance to become a continuous exercise so that residents can access markets, schools and hospitals without difficulties caused by poor roads,” Barasa said.
