THE BEST MAN ALWAYS WINS

The hatchet was finally  buried yesterday when various polling stations hosted three major by- elections.

The constituencies whose previous mps were removed from their seats after court cases included the Juja, Makadara and Starehe seats.These are also very vital areas in Nairobi,especially since Starehe hosts the CBD, Makadara the Industrial Area and Juja a host of very many industries.This withstanding the elections had a very smooth sailing but with astonishing results.

For instance in Makadara its Mike Mbuvi aka Sonko who got the majority votes.Mbuvi managed to beat Ruben Ndolo who was in foreseat in the case which ousted the former Mp Dick Wathika.On the other hand Wathika had no worries as he claimed he has been in this seat twice and a mayor too and that he was planning to quit politics.Mbuvi had been bombarded with many issues especially towards the end of the campaign period to the extent that his bank account was blocked.It will be remembered in history that Makadara voters always stand their ground as they were NO votes in the recently held constitution referundum.This withstanding i thought that typically ODM will rule the day but i guess the shock was on me.

In Starehe Bishop Margeret Wanjiru the former Mp managed to regain her seat.Then why were they removing her in the firts place i asked myself.In the Starehe court case Maina Kamanda her biggest contender claimed that she had stolen some of her votes but i guess the joke is in him now.

In Juja William Kabogo managed to carry the baton as he got the Mps seat.

So the best man always wins right?
