Else where 24-year-old Abraham Osoi Orikai MCA-elect for Matapato North ward on a Wiper ticket became the youngest Kajiado politician.

Osoi, a graduate of KCA University and an accountant by profession recounts the hurdles he has endured in his political journey.

He entirely focused on the door-to-door campaigns due to a lack of financial muscle but remained steadfast and focused.

Speaking to K24 Digital at the Maasai Technical Training Institute tallying centre shortly after being declared the winner by the centre Returning Officer Mugo Ngunjiri, Osoi challenged youthful persons to join politics.

"I am grateful to God and to the voters of my ward. I am humbled by the unconditional support I have received from my voters. I look forward to striving to prove youth leaders can deliver by striving my best in all endeavours to bring development to my ward," Osoi says.
