Just a day after the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) County Level Elections were successfully held, Presidential aspirant Cleophas Shimanyula aka ‘Toto’ has taken a step ahead of the rest by meeting with over six delegates.
In a held meeting in Kakamega, Shimanyula, flanked by Double T Campaigns Director Andrew Amukowa and Kakamega Homeboyz CEO Benard Shitiabayi, met the newly elected four Western Chairmen led by Kakamega chairman Geoffrey Mudembei, Vihiga chairman Michael Senelwa, Bungoma chairman Dennis Simuyu and Busia chairman Eugine Omudek.
The four promised to lock Western vote in favour of Shimanyula and hie vice-president Twaha Mbarak ahead of the national elections slated for December 7. Apart from Western, Shimanyula met delegates from Transnzoia and West Pokot.
The election was held after the High Court on Tuesday lifted conservatory orders that had barred the county elections that had been originally scheduled to be held last Saturday.
The following counties successfully completed their voting exercises and have transmitted results: Elgeyo Marakwet, Bomet, Bungoma, Nandi, Vihiga, Busia, Migori, Lamu, Kisii, West Pokot, Kisumu, Machakos, Embu, Kakamega, Narok,and Samburu.
Elections in Homabay, Turkana, and Mandera have been rescheduled, while repeat elections will be conducted in Nyandarua and Vihiga following ties in key positions. Specifically, Nyandarua will hold repeat elections for the Chairperson and Secretary roles, while Vihiga will conduct a rerun for the Secretary position.
The process is ongoing, with efforts focused on completing the elections in the remaining counties.
