Since the 2013 Kenyan General Elections, Johana Kipyegon Ngeno represented the constituency in the Kenyan National Assembly, first as a Kenya National Congress (KNC) member.[2][3] Ngeno was re-elected in 2017 as a coalition member of The Eagle Coalition[citation needed] and served as Member of Parliament through 2026 after his 2022 reelection on a United Democratic Alliance ticket.[4][5] Johana Ng'eno died in a helicopter crash on 28 February 2026.[6][7]

The by-election for its next Member of Parliament is set to take place on 14 May 2026 after Ng'eno's death.[1]
Business man David Keter won the United Democratic Alliance (UDA)'s nomination in March 2026, narrowly surpassing the late MP's assistant, Bernard Kipkoech Ng’eno in votes cast.[9]
