UDA locked down another ward seat when 23-year-old Vincent Kiplimo Rutto crushed his opponents in the Chemundu/Kapng'etuny race. The kid whose dad was the previous MCA before dying pulled in almost 4,000 votes, while his nearest competition barely scraped together a couple of hundred. Independent candidate Robert Kirwa finished third with 225 ballots.
Residents backed the young guy because they saw him carrying on his father, Julius Kipruto Keter, who had started it before he passed. The electoral commission called the race and confirmed Rutto as the winner, keeping the ward firmly in UDA territory.
