The tide of By-Elections: Voters did not spare the rod.

It is now official that Margret Wanjiru, William Kabogo and Gidion Mbuvi are the Members of Parliament elect in Starehe, Juja and Makadara constituencies. The Interim Independent Electoral Commission conducted free and fair elections. I witnessed this as i cast my vote at Juja Road Primary School at 9:30 am.

This should send a warning to all politicians eying the Presidential, Parliamentary and County positions (Senator, Governor and women representatives) that without results Kenyans will shun you.

Our democracy is gradually rising above partisan politics, political might does not count any more. Kenyans now what matters and will vote for candidates who will deliver. The electorate want justice, accountability, security and sustainable development.

Hail voters in Starehe, Juja and Makadara. More to follow in 2012.
