Others are chairman of the Jubilee Party Nelson Dzuya, former Clerk of the National Assembly Justin Bundi, Embu County Assembly Speaker Justus Mate and current member of the Arusha-based assembly Abubakar Ogle. ElectionThe inclusion of Mr Kalonzo Musyoka's son raised eyebrows, but the drama had started way earlier in the morning. Mr Farah Maalim, the deputy party leader who presented the results, noted that there may be a narrative that Mr Kalonzo was favoured because he is kin of the party leader, but he dismissed it, saying Mr Kalonzo deserves the post. "The fact that he is related to our party leader is just a biological accident," he added.
