OL KALOU POLLS: DCP’s Sammy Kamau Speaks After Voting, Expresses Confidence
Sammy Douglas Kamau, the Democratic Citizens Party (DCP) candidate, expressed confidence in winning the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election after casting his ballot at the AIC Comprehensive School polling station in Ol Kalou town.
Douglas arrived at the voting station at 10.20 a.m., escorted by Nyandarua Senator John Methu and Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara.
He was greeted by a big crowd of supporters, who roared as he entered the voting place to vote.
His entrance occurred just after Nyandarua Governor Badilisha Kiarie cast his ballot at the same polling booth.

Shortly after voting, Douglas lauded the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for a fast and efficient voting process.
“I have just cast my vote, and I am very happy with the speed at which the IEBC is working,” he said.
The DCP candidate said he had toured several polling stations across the constituency and was impressed by the voter turnout.

“I have visited several polling stations. The turnout is in large numbers,” he said.
Douglas, however, noted that there had been minor challenges during the opening of polling stations.
“There were just a few hitches in the morning where some of our agents were asked to provide copies of their IDs, but the issue was resolved,” he said.
He commended the security arrangements put in place for the by-election, saying the exercise had remained peaceful.
“Other than that, security is tight, and people have come out in large numbers,” Douglas added.
The candidate urged residents who had not yet voted to turn out in large numbers, insisting that every vote would make a difference in determining the election’s outcome.
“I want to encourage all voters to continue coming out because every vote counts,” he said.

Douglas also exuded confidence that his campaign had resonated with voters and expressed optimism that he would emerge victorious.
“I have done my campaign well. The numbers are good, and the margin between us and those we are competing against is wide,” he said.
Nyandarua Senator John Methu, who accompanied Douglas to the polling station, also expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the election.
“We are here to accompany our candidate. So far, the process is satisfying and we cannot say we have witnessed any major issues,” Methu said.
He described the voter turnout as one of the highest he had witnessed in the area and encouraged more residents to cast their ballots.
“This is one of the highest turnouts I have seen. The process is quite fast, and the only appeal is for more voters to come out,” he added.
