NAIROBI, Kenya — Fresh by-elections will be held on May 14, 2026, in three electoral areas across the country following vacancies in the National Assembly and county assemblies.
The seats affected include the Member of Parliament for Emurua Dikirr Constituency in Narok County, as well as Poro Ward in Samburu County and Endo Ward in Elgeyo Marakwet County.
The Emurua Dikirr parliamentary seat fell vacant after the death of area MP Johanna Ngeno, who died in a helicopter crash on February 28, 2026.
Emurua Dikirr Constituency is one of six constituencies in Narok County and was created ahead of the 2013 general elections.
The by-elections will also fill vacancies in two county assembly wards. Poro Ward is part of Samburu’s local electoral structure, while Endo Ward lies within Marakwet East Constituency, which is divided into four wards, including Embobut/Embolot, Endo, Kapyego and Sambirir.
