    The slot for Jubilee will go to former Uasin Gishu Senator, Margaret Kamar, while the Wiper party will nominate the party its Secretary General, Shakila Abdalla. UDM’s slot will be taken by Mariam Sheikh Omar.

    The nomination slots are divided as per the party strengths in the House. Ruto’s party has 22 senators, ODM 13, Jubilee 4 and Wiper 3.
