Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has refuted former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's claim of being able to mobilize seven million votes from the Mt Kenya region against President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election, deeming it mathematically impossible.

• The dispute follows a by-election victory for the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) in Ol Kalou, which Gachagua's allies presented as a sign of the region's shift.
• Sudi cited that the total votes cast in the Mt Kenya region in the 2022 presidential election for both Ruto and Raila Odinga were approximately 3.8 million.
• Sudi argued that even with new voter registrations, the region could not exceed four million votes, challenging Gachagua's figures as exaggerated.

UDA National Organizing Secretary Vincent Musyoka Kawaya has dismissed the opposition's interpretation of the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election results as a predictor for the 2027 Presidential Election.

• Kawaya stated that UDA has won six of the last ten parliamentary and senatorial by-elections, highlighting their strong performance.
• The UDA National Organizing Secretary argued that a single by-election victory does not reflect the national political landscape.
• He expressed confidence in President William Ruto's re-election in 2027, emphasizing that development and service delivery will be the determining factors.

Despite finishing fourth in the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, the National Liberal Party (NLP) views its performance as a significant step in its grassroots development.

• The NLP candidate, Stephen Wanyoike Waithaka, secured 103 votes, placing the party ahead of PNU but behind Jubilee.
• NLP Party Leader Augustus Muli described the by-election as a "proxy war" where voters chose sides rather than policy, but emphasized these 103 votes represent a foundation for "liberal ideas."
• Muli highlighted that the NLP has only been under his leadership for two years, contrasting their rebuilding efforts with established parties like Jubilee and PNU.

Despite the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) losing the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has assured residents that all ongoing government development projects will continue uninterrupted.

• Moses Kuria personally congratulated the newly elected MP, Kamau Ngotho, on his victory.
• Key projects set to continue include the construction of Nyandarua University, road tarmacking, and 36 electrification projects.
• Kuria emphasized that development should benefit all residents, regardless of political affiliation, stating "democracy and development will win."
