“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.

Residents of Matungu and Kabuchai constituencies go to the polls to elect new MPs this morning amid claims of a plot to rig the election.

NASA principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang ula are crafting an alliance to field joint candidates in upcoming by-elections, The Standard has learnt.
The leaders of Wiper, ANC and Ford-Kenya, yesterday held a meeting at Stoni Athi Resort to agree on a political pact that will see them back a single candidate in the Matungu, Kabuchai, Machakos and Nairobi by-elections.
The move by the NASA principals signals emergence of a third political force that would face off with the handshake team led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga as well as the “hustler nation” spearheaded by Deputy President William Ruto.
