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.
