UDA aspirant George Wambugu Delight from Ol Kalou claims that nomination votes were rigged and that Samuel Muchina Nyaga did not win the ticket, therefore expressing dissatisfaction
 A fierce political contest has erupted within the in Ol Kalou after Samuel Muchina Nyagah was declared winner of the party’s parliamentary nomination exercise in Nyandarua County.
According to the official UDA election results, Samuel Muchina Nyagah garnered 3,221 votes, representing 39 percent of the total votes cast, narrowly defeating George Wambugu Kanuri, popularly known as George Wambugu Delight, who secured 3,077 votes or 37.26 percent.

The tightly contested race saw only a margin of 144 votes separate the two leading contenders out of the 8,258 total votes cast.
Other candidates in the race included Peter Njoroge Mugo with 1,049 votes, Mary Nyokabi Kamau with 406 votes, Joseph Chuchu Njuguna with 158 votes, Maina Kiambati with 96 votes, Joseph Ndirangu Ndungu with 90 votes, Ezekia Kamweru Kiraing’wa with 66 votes, Daniel Ndung’u Wangenye with 52 votes and Stanley Mwangi Wairimu with 43 votes.

However, shortly after the results were announced, George Wambugu Delight rejected the outcome and accused the party of presiding over a flawed nomination process.
Wambugu claimed the results did not reflect the actual will of Ol Kalou voters, alleging cases of vote manipulation and irregularities during tallying and management of the exercise.

“Samuel Muchina Nyagah did not genuinely win the ticket. The process was rigged and unfair to the people of Ol Kalou. We are not satisfied with the outcome. Ol Kalou ni DCP,” Wambugu said.

As part of his way forward, Wambugu indicated that he will pursue the matter through the UDA internal dispute resolution mechanisms by filing a formal complaint before the party’s Dispute Resolution Committee.

The committee is expected to review complaints, scrutinize tallying records and determine whether the nomination results should stand, be reviewed or a repeat exercise ordered.

Political analysts say the dispute could significantly influence the upcoming Ol Kalou by-election, especially with growing signs of dissatisfaction among sections of UDA supporters in the constituency.
Despite the complaints, supporters of Samuel Muchina Nyagah have defended the outcome, insisting the exercise was free, fair and reflected the will of the 8,258 voters who participated in the nomination.
