The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) candidate, Sammy Kamau Waweru, is poised for a significant victory in the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, prompting early concession from senior UDA leaders.

• Sammy Kamau Waweru secured a commanding lead with 25,921 votes compared to 4,018 for the UDA candidate, Samuel Muchina Nyagah, in provisional tallies from 107 out of 144 polling stations.
• Senior UDA figures including Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, and Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi have acknowledged the apparent loss on social media.
• The outcome is seen as a major political setback for President William Ruto's party in the Mt. Kenya region and has been interpreted by opposition leaders as an early shift in the political landscape ahead of the 2027 General Election.
