Wiper Party candidate Agnes Kavindu Muthama has won the Machakos senate seat, following a hotly contested by-election.
Ms Kavindu who is ex-wife former Machakos senator Johnston Muthama registered a comfortable early lead, beating UDA candidate Urbanus Ngengele who was supported her ex-husband.
Kavindu garnered 104,352 votes followed by Urbanus Ngengele who had 19,726.
When Kithure Kindiki succeeded Rigathi Gachagua as Ruto’s deputy a year ago, this big leap came with more responsibilities, an elevated profile and a boss who was eager to have the support that he never had from the previous holder of the office.
New IEBC data shows 90,020 new voters registered by October 31, 2025. Analysis of the 47-county report reveals which regions are gaining the most new voters and which are seeing the highest transfers.
