Oparanya succeeded Turkana governor Josphat Nanok after winning the hotly contested Council of governors polls held last week.
He is now the fourth Council of governors chairman after former Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto (2013-2015), former Meru governor Peter Munya (2015-2017) and Turkana Governor Josphat Nanok (2017-2019).
