WAITITU'S CAMPIn Mr Waititu’s team was former adviser to the presidency on agriculture and food security James Nyoro, who is Mr Waititu’s running mate, and renowned preacher David Ngare, popularly known as Gakuyo. While other county leaders who were not in Mr Waititu’s camp were handed embarrassing defeats, Senator Wamatangi defied the political wave that swept out nearly 90 per cent of the elected leaders in the county. Mr Thang’wa failed to dislodge Mr Wamatangi who is now sure of re-election, as a Jubilee ticket is as good as a win in the region. Mr Wamatangi garnered 206,282 votes to beat Mr Thang’wa who got 178,814 votes. I promise to maintain the pace and above all, the respect that I have for you,” said Mr Wamatangi.
