Guyo had expressed interest in the Embakasi Central parliamentary seat, but changed his mind and will now be contesting the Isiolo governorship.
“I have consequently dropped my re-election quest. You see, time (to kick off campaigns) is running out and because I am leaving the political scene. We must bring in other leaders for continuity,” Kuti was quoted.
Guyo will be vying for the seat on a party under the Azimio la Umoja coalition and is expected to face off with among others; former EACC boss Halakhe Waqo, former governor Godana Doyo and politician Hussein Tene.
