Kolosh won the Wajir West parliamentary seat after gaining 11,053 votes. Kolosh decamped from Raila Odinga's ODM party after the Supreme Court overturned his election on January 19. ODM earlier this month through its Director of Elections Junet Mohammed said it will not participate in the by-election. I will join him in building and moving Wajir West forward. Among the first to congratulate Kolosh was National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale and Wajir Governor Mohamed Abdi.
