A section of Isiolo communities, led by elders, wants one of the children of the late Isiolo South MP Mohamed Tubi to contest the seat.
The groups, comprising elders from the dominant Borana clans, members of the Borana Council of Elders (BCE), professionals and women representatives, made the declaration on Saturday after the end of the traditional mourning period for the MP, who died last Wednesday at a Nairobi hospital after a long illness.
