UDA’s Cecily Mbarire Wins Embu Governor Race
Nominated MP Cecily Mbarire has won the Embu County gubernatorial contest.
Contesting on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket, Mbarire was declared the winner on Saturday after bagging 108,610 votes closely followed by her main rival former Senator Lenny Kivuti of the Development Empowerment Party (DEP) who got 105,046 votes.
Speaking shortly after being awarded the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) clearance certificate, Mbarire said: "I want to thank God for giving us the win today. I feel humbled. I also thank our security agencies for ensuring there's peace in the county all through the election process.”
Mbarire joins six other women who have been so far elected as governors including Gladys Wanga (Homa Bay), Kirinyaga’s Anne Waiguru, Susan Kihika (Nakuru), Kawira Mwangaza (Meru), Wavinya Ndeti (Machakos) and Fatuma Achani (Kwale).

The votes which gave Mbarire the win must be throughly scrutinized to make sure she legitimately won the election. Ruto has rigged other politicians in Mount Kenya and this one may have been the case too.
There was a massive rigging of votes in Central Kenya by UDAku agents and the IEBC. Her suspicious win and those of others must be clearly investigated by retallying all the votes to decide who won. We can allow Ruto to control political positions in the Country. Ruto rigged elections across the country mainly in Central Kenya and the Rift Valley.
There is a cloud of suspicion surrounding the legitimacy of those voted in UDA in Mount Kenya. The legitimacy of those politicians is questionable due to the widespread rigging claims.
Was Mbarire properly elected or was she rigged in by UDA/IEBC operatives? It is amazing what money can corruptly do.
Those doubting UDA win in Mulima must know that WANJINGA WAMEELEVUKA.No more Kenyattaism.The remaining mountainians worshipping jambazi Uhuru are not too late to join.Mwizi Uhuru must know “ANDU AITU” are his children and siblings and stop addressing mountainians as if he owns them.Mountainians are repaying trillions looted by Uhuru,his siblings and a few elite gangsters led by Raila,Wanjigi,Ruto,Murathe etc.
Moses, George $ Ken, Kenya has moved on, and especially the mountains region. We voted for personalities as opposed to party affiliation. Cecily issa legend,
The oldschool mindset is over ..Kenya Current political waves has changed ..leadership is earned not given!!!..Leadership also is not individual supremacy by dynasty, it's about the community, the people voices to be represented!!..Uhuru destroyed his allies affiliated in Mt Kenya ...
