Ol Kalou town came to a complete standstill today as thousands of residents poured into the streets and filled the grounds to capacity, sending a clear message about who they want as their next member of parliament.
The massive turnout has completely rewritten the political landscape of the area, making it clear that Sammy Douglas Kamau Waweru, popularly known as Ngotho, is the man to beat.
If anyone doubted his popularity, today’s event put those doubts to rest with an undeniable display of public support.
The energy on the ground was electric. Photos shared online from the event show a literal sea of green caps and t-shirts stretching as far as the eye can see.
