The rivalry between former MPs Nyarangi Moturi and Geoffrey Masanya may also become a thing of the past if the splitting of the former North Mugirango/Borabu into North Mugirango and Borabu constituencies is anything to go by. Mr Moturi now finds himself in Borabu while Masanya remains in North Mugirango.

Another beneficiary of the split is Foreign Affairs assistant minister Richard Onyonka whose Kitutu Chache has been split into Mosocho and Marani constituencies.

The move will see Mr Onyonka opting for his Mosocho home constituency while former MP Jimmy Angwenyi is likely to lock horns with former PS James Ongwae in Marani.
