President William Ruto has congratulated winners of the Thursday by-elections, saying their victories reflect the strength of Kenya’s democracy and the importance of national unity.
In a statement issued on Friday, the President commended the newly elected leaders across several constituencies, praising them for earning the trust of voters.
“Congratulations David Ndakwa (Malava), Leonard Wamuthende (Mbeere North), Ahmed Hassan (Banisa), Vincent Chemitei (Baringo), Moses Omondi (Ugunja), Harrison Kombe (Magarini), and Boyd Were (Kasipul) for your deserved win!” President Ruto said.
He added that the outcome of the by-elections demonstrated that Kenya is strongest when its people choose togetherness over division.
“Your victory is a powerful reminder to us that we are bigger and better as a country when we are united,” he said.
The President urged the newly elected leaders to focus on service delivery and to work closely with their communities to promote development, peace and cohesion.
