Kenyans on Twitter have flocked social media with congratulatory messages to Federal Party Of Kenya candidate in the Migori senatorial by elections.
Eddy lost to ODM Party’s Ochilo Ayacko who garnered 85,234 against his 60,555 votes.
The youthful Eddy had poised the elections pausing a major threat to Ayacko.
The ODM brigade led by party leader Raila Odinga and his deputy party leader Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho.
This has made Kenyans on twitter to send congratulatory messages to Eddy instead of Ayacko as they say Eddy had no a campaign back up like Ayacko did, and only got defeated by 25,000 votes.
They 27 year old had caused sleepless nights to ODM Party and its fraternity.
Here are some of the reactions.

ODM Ochillo Ayacko – 85,234
Eddy Oketch – 60,555
That slim gap must worry ODMs strategy team, considering Raila Odinga and other bigwigs camping in Migori for several days. Governor Obado behind bars. Don’t forget many citizens didn’t turn up to vote— Joseph Malcom (@JosephMalcom8) October 9, 2018
Eddy Oketch who’s just 27 years old put up a really good fight babas influence seems to be slowing down I still believe if Obado wasn’t in industrial area Ochilo Ayacko and the whole ODM troop would have be been defeated hands down.
