KNUT Bungoma Branch Vice Chairman Augustine Watamba has dropped out of the race for Bungoma South Branch Executive Secretary post to replace Ken Nganga Milimo, who was appointed by President William Ruto as the Ambassador to United Arab Emirates.
Addressing the press in Bungoma town, Watamba said he is going to rally behind the candidature of Kennedy Luketelo from Bumula Constituency, suggesting that the decision was reached after wider consultations with other tutors and area MP Jack Wanami Wamboka.
According to Watamba, they have only one chance for the seat and he is convinced that Luketelo is equal to the task. He promised to champion for the rights of teachers in his current position.
On his part, Luketelo has welcomed the move to support his candidature, promising to represent teachers on issues diligently if elected.
