Former Kayole
North MCA Samuel Ng'ang'a Mwangi has conceded defeat in the Embakasi Central Parliamentary
seat race.
Mwangi, who was running on a Jubilee Party
ticket, took to social media on Wednesday night to laud his main rival, United
Democratic Alliance’s (UDA) Mejja Donk amid the tallying of votes.
“I still believe in service leadership, and I
always will. To my supporters and residents of Embakasi Central if you do, then
we must accept the results and then look to the future,” Mwangi wrote on
Facebook.
“Now is the time to recognize that which
unites us is greater than that which divides us. A worrier lives to fight
another day. Congratulations to MP-elect Mejja Donk.”
Mwangi similarly appreciated the electorates
for the opportunity to run for the seat, urging his supporters to also accept
the results and remain united.
“I would like to take this opportunity to
thank all the great people of Embakasi Central for practicing your democratic
right,” he stated.
“Thank you Kayole North residents for
according me an opportunity to be your Member of the County Assembly for the
last 5 years. It was great, serving the people.”
Mejja Donk on his part thanked his adversary
for the move, promising to work together with him after the elections to ensure
the prosperity of the constituency.
“I take the earliest opportunity to
congratulate Samuel Mwangi for respecting the decision of the Embakasi Central
electorates. This is a clear indication that we will maintain our development
course,” Donk noted.
“It is encouraging to note that our campaign
was a race based on principles, ideas and a vision of a better constituency.”
He
added: “With the majority having had their say I call upon everyone regardless
of their political divide to unite with us as we embark on our clear path of
prosperity and building a society that is all-inclusive."
