Friday, August 19, 2022 –A fourth year student from Elementaita University has won a Member of County Assembly seat; beating veterans.
The 22 year old soft-spoken George Nene managed to beat his seasoned rivals hence clinching the Elementaita MCA seat on Safina Party ticket.
In the IEBC records Homenews.co,ke has seen, Nene got 4,310 votes in the just ended general election despite having no financial muscles to stage normal campaigns just like his able competitors.
He beat Moses Ndug’u – a former leader of Majority Nakuru County Assembly – and who was running on a well-financed United Democratic Alliance UDA Party ticket.
Nding’u’s has been campaigning with Deputy President William Ruto anytime the UDA team is touring the region.
“I was using a bicycle to campaign and it was quite difficult to move around because of the poor roads which got even worse when it rained.
“One of my acquaintances then gave me his donkey cart, which I fitted with the PA systems and generator to campaign. I thought about getting a vehicle but I couldn’t afford one,” Nene recounted.
His first priority will be to see every suffering family elevated in one way or another owing to the fact that most locals in the area are living in deplorable conditions.
