Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has led congratulatory messages to the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) candidate Sammy Kamau Ngotho following Thursday’s Ol Kalou Parliamentary By-election, even as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is yet to officially declare the winner.
“Congratulations, Sammy Douglas Waweru Kamau Ngotho, on your imminent victory in the by-election held today for the MP seat for the Ol Kalou constituency. Unite the residents and serve them all without distinction,” Kindiki said.
The second in command also praised the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party candidate Samuel Muchina for conducting a “mature and issue-based” campaign.
“Congratulations Samuel Muchina, our UDA Party candidate, for a good show and a mature, issue-based campaign devoid of insults. You may not have succeeded today, but your star shines bright into the future.”
As early as 8 pm, different political players had started sending their congratulatory messages, even as both parrallel tallies done by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and DCP parties showed Ngotho enjoying an unassailable lead.
