Duale blasted for involving ODM in Wajir West by-elections

Did National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale know the Wajir West by-election results before IEBC? Or was he one of the returing officers?

Well, On Thursday night, just after results from one polling station came in, Duale took to his official twitter account to declare Jubilee Candidate Ahmed Kolosh as the winner.

He also thanked the people of Wajir West for making sure that Kolosh retains his seat.

Duale further revealed that the slaughtering of camels and balaaqley traditional dance continues.

However, Duale made a mistake by involving Raila Odinga-led ODM Party in his results declaration.

ODM Candidate Prof Yusuf Elmi withdrew from the race alongside other candidates, leaving the Wajir by-elections a two horse race between Kolosh and KANU’s Ibrahim Sheikh. But Duale, while announcing Kolosh as the winner, he quoted that he is a former ODM member.

This brought him in a hard tussle with Kenyans on twitter, who have blasted him for involving a party that was not in the race.

A section of KOT questioned Duale if Kolosh Was voted in because he is formerly ODM or because he was the right choice!

They also questioned if elections Was all about parties or the right leadership!

Here are some of the reactions.
