Top Citizen TV Analyst Beats Veteran Politician Bifwoli Wakoli

Celebrated Citizen TV’s presenter David Makali had earlier launched his bid for the Bungoma senatorial seat. He was to face off with political bigwigs such as Mr. Wetang’ula (Ford Kenya), Mr. Musikari Kombo (New Ford Kenya) and Mr. Bifwoli Wakoli (Labor Party) who were all flanked by their respective political parties.

Like every race, the curtains fell on the Bungoma senatorial race and Moses Wetangula mowed over other candidates with 148,316 votes

In second position was Musikari Kombo with 79,550 votes. Musikari was the reason that Wetangula lost his seat in the first place as he had filed a petition citing that Mr. Wetang’ula had been involved in malpractice and double registration.

Third place was taken by David Makali who beat comical politician Bifwoli Wakoli by over 200 votes .This is an achievement in itself as it was the first time he had vied for a political seat and he was the only independent candidate!
