A Message of Unity Accepting the interim nomination certificate past midnight from the DCP Director of Elections, an emotional but energized Sammy Ngotho thanked the almighty God and his constituents.
Introduction The political landscape of Nyandarua County shifted decisively on Saturday, May 9, 2026. In an extraordinary demonstration of grassroots support, former MCA Samuel Kamau "Sammy" Ngotho secured a landslide victory in the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) primary elections, securing an incredible 12,957 votes. To put this in perspective, Ngotho’s personal vote tally alone completely eclipsed the entire voter turnout of the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) primaries. This isn't just a win; it is a clear mandate from the people of Ol Kalou demanding authentic representation.
The Breakdown of a Landslide The DCP primaries attracted nine candidates, proving the vibrant democratic space cultivated within the party. Despite the stiff competition, the voters sent an unmistakable message. While the runner-up, Paul Waiganjo, garnered 4,978 votes and Peter Karanja came third with 3,919 votes, Ngotho ran away with a commanding lead.
What has caught the attention of national political analysts is the sheer contrast between the parties. The UDA victor managed only 3,221 votes in a low-turnout exercise. In Ol Kalou, the energy, the passion, and the people are squarely behind the DCP banner, flying high with Sammy Ngotho.
A Message of Unity Accepting the interim nomination certificate past midnight from the DCP Director of Elections, an emotional but energized Sammy Ngotho thanked the almighty God and his constituents.
"I thank God for the victory He has bestowed upon us today," Ngotho stated in his maiden address. "It was not easy. We started this journey after the untimely demise of our sitting MP, the late David Kiaraho. This victory belongs to every mama mboga, every youth, and every elder in Ol Kalou who stayed up late to ensure their voice was counted."
Looking Ahead to July 14 With the official ticket secured, the real work begins. The upcoming by-election on July 14, 2026, is a choice between top-down political imposition and true grassroots leadership. Sammy Ngotho has proven he has the numbers, the structural machinery, and, most importantly, the hearts of the Ol Kalou electorate.
