Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale gas bounced back to the\nSenate after spending five years in the cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Khalwale (UDA) beat his closet rival Dr Brian Lishenga\n(ODM) by 249,003 votes. Lishenga garnered 195,192 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Khalwale was to vie for the Kakamega\ngubernatorial seat under the UDA party but stepped down in favour of outgoing Senator\nCleophas Malala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started off on a very happy note\nand it has ended up on an extremely happy note. We thank God the Almighty, the\nCreator of Heaven and Earth,\u201d said Khalwale after the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Lishenga has since conceded defeat to Khalwale: \u201cIt’s clear that Dr Boni Khalwale will\nserve as the Senator for Kakamega for the next 5 years. I congratulate him and\nwish him success in serving our people,\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ODM Kakamega women representative\nElsie Muhanda has retained her seat as the county woman representative with a\ntotal of 300, 226 votes followed by his closest rival Naomi Shiyonga of DAP-K\nwho garnered a total of 67, 351 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be Elsie’s second term\nafter she clinched to power in 2017 a position that was initially held by\nRachel Ameso who relinquished the position to a lighter position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According Ameso the position seemed\nambiguous to her and resorted to vie as an MP to Khwisero constituency a\nposition she terribly failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsie was initially a health CEC\nbefore being transferred to the Trade industry, positions that brought her to\nthe limelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you the Almighty God and the\npeople of Kakamega. We’ve won with a HUGE MARGIN. The turnout was historic. I\nlove you back,\u201d said Muhanda after the victory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Jackeline Okanya, the\nstep mother to Kakamega gubernatorial candidate Cleophas Malala was eyeing the\nMumias West parliamentary under the ANC party performed dismally poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sit was however taken by ODM’s\ncandidate Johnson Naicca, the incumbent MP who garnered 15,868 votes followed\nby Rashid Echesa(UDA) with11,056 votes. Ms Okanya got 1,084 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okanya had earlier publicly\ndishonored his son’s ambition of becoming the second county’s boss and started\nsupporting his rival Fernandes Barasa in a rally hosted by Azimio presidential\ncandidate Raila Odinga in August 4 at Bukhungu stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
