Addressing the press shortly after being announced the winner, Karauri thanked Kasarani constituents for believing in him and promised to deliver during his tenure.

“To the people of Kasarani Thank you so much, for the trust you have bestowed upon me, and I tell you I will not disappoint you,” Karauri noted.
