[1] It is an electoral constituency in Kenya, which was established/created for the 1988 general election.
The constituency was established for the 1988 Kenyan general election.
Prior to the 1988 Kenyan general election, it was known as Kitale East Constituency, and was represented in the national assembly by Hon Masinde Muliro and earlier on by Hon Fred Gumo.
Hon Muliro was narrowly re-elected in the infamous 1988 (Public Queue Voting), despite mass rigging elsewhere.
Immediately, his election was nullified and he lost the ensuing by-election to a Kalenjin newcomer Hon Kirwa.
