Kenya’s Lower Eastern region, popularly known as Ukambani, is considered an opposition political stronghold by virtue of having largely voted for opposition leader Raila Odinga in the last presidential election.
A majority of Members of Parliament representing constituencies there belong to the Wiper Democratic Movement, which is one of the major coalition partners in Mr Odinga’s Azimio coalition.
