• Mwanaisha praised her husband as good telling Kenyans he will deliver on his promises

• Mungatana vied for and won the Tana River Senatorial seat.

Mwanaisha Chidzuga on Thursday accompanied her husband Danson Mungatana to his swearing-in ceremony.

Danson Mungatana, who vied on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party ticket, was declared the Tana River Senator-elect after beating nine opponents by a huge margin.

He won with 34,129 votes, defeating his opponents Hassan Dukicha of Jubilee who managed 18,082 votes and Ali Bule with 14,157 votes.

When Danson Mungatana was announced as the winner of the Tana River county Senator seat, his wife Mwanaiasha took to her Instagram to praise him.

She shared a picture of him in a blue suit sitting down as she told how proud she is of him

"Congratulations my good husband Senator Danson Mungatana for the victory. I know Tana River County and Kenya as a whole have gotten a good leader. God first. On behalf of my family, I thank everyone who supported us in this journey."

The election is certainly good news for Mungatana who has made two previous unsuccessful attempts.

In 2013, Mr. Mungatana tried his luck on the Tana River gubernatorial seat where he emerged fourth.

In 2017, he went against the wish of the Pokomo Council of Elders to try his luck for the second time, only to emerge fourth.

The UDA candidate was a victim of mgangas from West Africa who swindled the lawyer for an estimated Sh76 million after they promised to make him a billionaire.

In 2019, the lawyer was arrested by the EACC on claims he was involved in a case of missing Sh51 million meant for Kilifi County.
