Some Mt Elgon constituency leaders and elders opposed to Bungoma Deputy Governor Hillary Chongwony have threatened to endorse a new running mate for Governor Kenneth Lusaka. Lusaka snubbed a meeting with Sabaot elders to discuss Chongwony's conduct. The elders from Kaptama, Kapsokwony, Kopsiro and Cheptais wards had gone to see Lusaka at Webuye. They were to discuss who should be his running mate. Led by Stephen Musani and Rofas Siyoi, the elders accused Lusaka of disappointing them.
