Kabando wa Kabando accepts defeat in Nyeri Senator race

Former Mukurwe-ini MP Kabando wa Kabando has conceded defeat in the Nyeri Senatorial race.

In a social media post, the legislator who contested for the seat on a Narc-Kenya party ticket congratulated the winners in the just completed polls.

“Our #NyeriFirst campaign is on pro-people policy issues: basic needs = basic rights. Voters have spoken. It's my turn to concede, which I do. Congrats all winners. As always, I remain actively involved in matters of public interest. Asanteni Nyeri,” he wrote.

Kabando was contesting against Priscilla Nyokabi (Jubilee) and Wahome Mwangi (UDA)

His defeat follows another in the 2017 General Election, when Kabando lost his Mukurwe-ini MP seat to Anthony Gathiaka Kiai, who was then a newcomer in the political arena.
