Jalang'o floors opponents in ODM nominations to win Lang'ata MP ticket
Jalango' garnered 3,509 votes, flooring his
closest rival Oscar Omoke who got a paltry 1,612 votes.
Musaari Kahiga Syongoh came third with 397
votes, followed by Wangusi Nathan Barasa (146), Sally Bolo (138), and Taa Vivienne
(121).
The media personality now will face off with
the incumbent lawmaker Nixon Korir of the Deputy President William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party at the August polls.
In the same constituency, David Mbiria won
the ODM Karen ward MCA ticket with 421 votes, John Rex Omolleh won in Nairobi
West ward with 262 votes, while Jared Akama Ondiek clinched victory in
Mugumu-Ini ward with 486 votes, and Kennedy Odhiambo won in Nyayo Highrise with
835 votes.
Michael Magema Gumo beat Philip Kisia for the
Westlands MP ticket after garnering 1,661 votes against the latter’s 627 votes.
This is despite the party on Friday
announcing that it halted the nomination exercise in the constituency following
the re-entrance of incumbent MP Tim Wanyonyi into the race.
Wanyonyi was initially seeking the Nairobi
governor’s seat but dropped his bid to support former Equity Chief Commercial
Officer (CCO) following consensus talks chaired by Azimio la Umoja One Kenya
coalition party leader Raila Odinga at KICC.
