UGUNJA, Kenya, Nov 28 \u2013 Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate Moses Omondi has been declared the winner of the Ugunja parliamentary by-election after garnering 9,237 votes, securing a decisive lead over his competitors to become the new MP-elect.<\/p>\n
The result reaffirms ODM\u2019s dominance in the region, with Omondi now set to succeed former area MP Opiyo Wandayi, who exited the seat following his appointment to the Cabinet.<\/p>\n
Omondi, in his victory message, thanked residents for turning out to vote and pledged to honour their confidence by prioritising development, youth empowerment, and service delivery. <\/p>\n
He further extended an olive branch to his competitors, urging unity and collaboration for the benefit of the constituency.<\/p>\n
The by-election recorded relatively low voter turnout, a trend analysts attribute to voter fatigue and limited mobilisation compared to general election periods. <\/p>\n
Even so, political observers say the outcome strengthens ODM\u2019s grassroots presence in Siaya ahead of future electoral contests.<\/p>\n
With the win, Moses Omondi now takes over legislative and oversight responsibilities in Parliament, as Ugunja residents await his delivery on pledges made during the campaign trail.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
