The Kasipul parliamentary race is drawing increasing attention as campaigns intensify ahead of the November 27 by-election. The seat fell vacant following the tragic murder of former MP Ong’ondo Were, and his son Boyd Were has since been nominated by the ODM Party to contest for the position.
During one of Boyd’s campaign rallies, two of Ong’ondo Were’s widows joined him to rally support. Their presence drew excitement among residents, but it was the appearance of the second wife, Margaret Were, that sparked online discussion. Her confident poise and stylish outfit stood out as she addressed the gathering, appealing to the people of Kasipul to support Boyd’s bid to continue his late father’s legacy.
Margaret’s elegant look featuring a pink shirt, black trousers, and an ODM cap which drew admiration from many, with social media users praising her charm and composure. Her calm demeanor on stage reflected both pride and strength as she spoke on behalf of her family.
The late Ong’ondo Were’s last wife, Ann Were, also took to the podium, expressing her support for Boyd’s candidacy. She assured residents that Boyd was prepared to serve the constituency with dedication, emphasizing the family’s unity in backing his campaign.
Boyd’s campaign has gained traction in recent weeks, with growing sympathy from voters who view his candidacy as a continuation of his father’s vision for development in Kasipul. The emotional connection between the Were family and the electorate has become a central feature of the campaign.
The by-election, scheduled for November 27, is expected to be closely contested, with several candidates eyeing the seat. However, Boyd’s growing popularity and the public’s fond memories of his late father appear to give him a significant edge.
