After the release of the Building Bridges initiative report which scrapped off the Woman Representative seat all political eyes have been trailed at Dennitah Ghati.
The BBI report proposes the Senate will be composed of one man and one woman elected in each of the 47 counties and a governor aspirant to pick a deputy from the other gender.

The currently Ghati is the nominated MP by ODM to represent People With Disablity and a former journalists trained in New York city, USA.
She is the first Woman Representative for Migori.
But the legislator was not committal for her next political move when contacted by Migori News.
“What I know is that I am still in ODM and the party holds supreme in most direction, I also know I will be firmly in the ballot for a county seat and will revert later,” she said.
Despite relinquishing the seat to the current holder Pamela Odhiambo, Ghati has maintained close ties with ODM party and leader Raila Odinga.
Kisii University lecturer Nick Oluoch and a political pundit said Ghati move will be followed keenly as she will help unlock support for other candidates.
“Before the BBI report was released she was out going for the Woman Representative seat and already had Pamela in a corner with the two rising political heat already,” Oluoch said.
The analyst said being the only senior female politician from Kuria region, which is a minority in Migori, and having trans-versed the county as a Woman Representative and with a brand name her move will be keenly watched.
“She stands to gain more as a female senator or the deputy governor, a seat the BBI proposes for an opposite gender which she fits the bill with her Kuria background being and added advantage,” Oluoch said.
Ghati supporters and confidants have said they have gone back to the drawing table to get the best seat and concentrate their energy on.
“Right now we are keen in strengthening the party in Migori and the country ahead of BBI campaigns which will help place us in the center of the matrix,” a confidant said.
