Drama as Jubilee’s Charles Kamuren wins Baringo South by-election

The seat fell vacant following the death of Grace Kapchoim

Drama ensued shortly after Charles Kamuren who contested for the Baringo South parliamentary was declared the winner of the contest beating Maendeleo Cha Chap’s Cynthia Kipchilat.

Kipchilat’s team protested the move with her chief agent declining to sign the final documents maintaining that results from some polling station were in contention.

According to the chief agent, the decision to announce the winner was ill-advised as results from some polling stations were disputed in the tight race.

Kamuren garnered 12277 votes in the tight contest that saw Maendeleo Cha Chap’s Cynthia Kipchilat come second with 8968 votes.
