Amount Of Money Tangatanga Used In Mariga’s Campaign

The Kibra by-elections were going to be interesting. While it was widely speculated that ODM candidate Imram Okoth would triumph, deputy president William Ruto was keen on an upset and he did a fairly good job at it. His candidate McDonald Mariga, a former Harambee Stars international, was thrust into the deep sea that is Kibra politics.

Amount Used For Campaigns
According to Homa Bay County Women’s Representative Gladys Wanga, the Tangatanga wing of Jubilee party spent kes200 million to take over what came to be referred as baba’s bedroom.

Here is what the Women Rep shared on twitter:

Here is how the candidates performed:

Imram Okoth-24,636
McDonald Mariga-11, 230
Mariga congratulated Imram and told him in a phone call:

“Hello boss, this is Mariga, I have called to congratulate you. It was a good race. We did not fight. I am ready for lunch, so that we work together……..we remain friends and you can always count on my support.”
