“I am happy with the outcome of the polls. The people of Matungu and Kabuchai have made us proud and sent a powerful message for all to hear. The big victories can only mean that the grand march is now on,” said Mudavadi when he joined Matungu MP-elect Peter Oscar Nabulindo in celebration at Bulimbo Primary School moments after IEBC declared the ANC candidate, the winner.
He predicted more victories ahead, saying the region’s unity has been mirrored in the two by-elections earlier billed a contest pitting disgruntled National Super Alliance (Nasa) leaders – Mudavadi, Wetang’ula and Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka – on one side against ODM leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto.
