The by-election is expected to show a clear picture of the country's 2022 general elections pitting President Uhuru Kenyatta's camp and his out of favor deputy William Ruto.
Recent campaigns in the areas have seen succession politics dominated the debate.
Leaders allied to Rutto have exuded confidence that they would carry the day, asking hopefuls to seek a mandate from the people in votes.
The UDA team, running on the hustler narrative, has implored the electorate to stand with Ruto after abandoned by his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The leaders have asked the electorate to show revolt towards the Jubilee candidates following the fallout between Uhuru and his deputy.
The leaders claim that the Uhuru has deserted Ruto despite campaigning for him twice.
