Following a significant by-election victory by the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), President William Ruto has called for national unity, urging Kenyans to reject divisive politics.

• The DCP candidate won the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election with a landslide 35,440 votes against the UDA candidate's 5,450 votes.
• Key figures involved include President William Ruto and the DCP party, which secured its first parliamentary seat.
• This outcome is seen as a potential shift in political realignments in the Mt Kenya region, particularly ahead of the 2027 General Election.
