Sammy Kamau Ngotho vence indicação do DCP para a eleição suplementar de Ol Kalou

Sammy Kamau Ngotho venceu a indicação do partido Democracy for the Citizens para a eleição parlamentar suplementar de Ol Kalou, marcada para 16 de julho.

Ngotho obteve 12.957 votos nas primárias do DCP realizadas no sábado, 9 de maio, derrotando seu rival mais próximo, Paul Waiganjo, que recebeu 4.978 votos. O pleito atraiu nove aspirantes e grandes multidões.

O candidato da United Democratic Alliance, Samuel Muchina Nyaga, venceu as primárias de seu partido um dia antes, em 8 de maio, com 3.221 votos. A cadeira de Ol Kalou ficou vaga após a morte do deputado David Njuguna Kiaraho em 29 de março de 2026, aos 62 anos.

Após sua vitória, Ngotho agradeceu aos seus apoiadores e os incentivou a comparecer em grande número no dia 16 de julho. Ele havia disputado o cargo sob a bandeira da UDA em 2022 e posteriormente serviu como conselheiro de Rigathi Gachagua.
