Meanwhile, some leaders from Bobasi constituency have defended the creation of the proposed Gucha constituency by the IIBRC.

Twenty - one civic leaders led by Gucha County Council chairman, Albert Manyange and councillor Kodheck Keana, claimed the creation respected the population size requirements for a constituency.

Gucha constituency as proposed has some wards hived from Bobasi and Bomachoge constituencies and includes Ogembo town.
