Deputy President William Ruto’s allies have said the Msambweni parliamentary by-election outcome has a bearing on the 2022 General Election.
Feisal Bader, an independent candidate, on Tuesday, won the poll, trouncing Orange Democratic Movement’s Omar Boga.
Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission tally showed that Mr Bader had 15,251 votes against Mr Boga’s 10,444 votes from all the 129 polling stations.
“Dalili ya mvua ni mawingu, dalili ya 2022 ni ushindi Msambweni (when clouds gather, it is a sign that it will rain and what we witnessed in Msambweni is a clear sign of what will happen in 2022). After Msambweni, BBI (Building Bridges Initiative) and 2022 are on the line,” said nominated MP David ole Sankok.

Victoria s Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC) kicks off its first redivision in eight years next week and low population growth across much of the state s west presents a particular challenge for those drawing the map.
