Seth Panyako, Philip Aroko Finally Speak After Poll Results
Following the recently finished nationwide by-elections, Malava parliamentary candidate Seth Panyako and his Kasipul counterpart Philip Aroko have broken their silence.
This comes after both DAP-Kenya’s Panyako and Independent candidate Aroko lost the by-elections held on Thursday, November 27, this year.
Panyako strongly opposed the mini-poll results in a statement issued on Friday, November 28.
He claimed electoral malfeasance in 54 polling places, despite convincing victories in 134 of 198.
He accused the administration of inciting instability in Malava in an attempt to frighten him and his supporters into abandoning the polls.
“We won in 134 out of 198 Polling stations, but still they managed to manipulate and subvert the will of the people. They used 54 polling stations to manipulate the elections,” Panyako said.
Panyako went on to thank his followers, praising them for being loyal despite intimidation and threats to his life.
“Thank you, my Malava people, your love and trust in me have been steadfast,” he added.
“But to those who subvert your will, judgment awaits them. Despite chaos against us and attempts on my life, you stood firm.”
The DAP-Kenya candidate, on the other hand, insisted that the outcome of the by-elections will have no bearing on his political future, emphasizing his determination to continue pursuing regional politics.
“I have not lost this election, and therefore, it cannot determine my political future. Thank you once again,” Panyako stated.
Philip Aroko, who ran in the Kasipul Constituency by-election, sent a touching statement to his followers, thanking them for their unwavering support throughout the election campaign.
