The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) constituency elections in Narok County went on smoothly in the six constituencies with most delegates choosing to accept the poll outcome.
Most delegates interviewed by Kenya News Agency called on their members to maintain peace after the result outcome as they believed the elections were carried out in a free and fair manner.
Narok County Assembly Majority Leader Sonkoi Lemain, who lost in the party’s Secretary General position for Narok South Sub County but conceded the defeat, described the process as transparent and credible saying all those who won the elections were the legitimate winners.
Lemain, who is supporting Governor Patrick Ole Ntutu for the county’s party chairmanship position, asked their rival group that is led by Narok West Member of Parliament Gabriel Tongoyo to accept the result for the good of the party.
He alleged that most delegates supporting Tongoyo’s side were not at the polling station, wondering why they had chosen to pull out very early.
Sogoo ward MCA Hilary Kipngeno also lauded the election process saying it was very smooth, fair and free.
Kipngeno who was vying to represent the professionals in the party, was elected unopposed and called on all the successful delegates to represent the party well by ensuring the party gets a clear win in the next elections.
The Narok West MP, who is also the chairman of the Security committee at the National Assembly had earlier alleged that the ward elections were not free and fair alleging that the process had been manipulated to favour his rival, governor Ntutu.
There were six elective seats: Organizing secretary, male member, secretary, deputy secretary, treasurer, female member, chairperson and deputy chairperson.
In Narok South, Otuni Milton was elected as organizing secretary, Denis Sonkoi (male member), Sena Moibel (Secretary), Kishoyian Mkum (treasurer), Chelangat Hildah (Female member), Simon Mashati (Chairperson).
A total of 111 delegates voted in the constituency.
