Trans Nzoia senator Michael Mbito has applauded the Eldoret Court for upholding his win.
The Jubilee party senator said that the petition had derailed the start of development projects in the County.“This is not just Mbito’s win but it’s a win for the people of Trans Nzoia since we will now start our development projects as we promised our electorates during the electioneering period which had not kicked off due to the petition,” said Mbito in Eldoret town while addressing the press after his win was upheld by the Eldoret High Court, Wednesday.“I want to an extent an olive hand to my friend Henry Ole Ndiema who challenged my victory to come and work with us for the betterment of Trans Nzoia residents. Let’s work together to improve the livelihoods of residents since politics is now gone,” added Mbito.Peter Siole the leader of the majority in the Tran Nzoia County Assembly congratulated Senator Mbito for winning the petition and urged the former Senator to work together with him.“Let's forget politics and concentrate on development, this can only be achieved through concerted efforts," said the Jubilee MCA.Justice Kanyi Kimondo dismissed an election petition by former Senator saying Mbito was validly elected as the Senator of Trans Nzoia.To be the first to get updates on breaking and trending news in Kenya, send your Whatsapp number to 0740949990.
