DP Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance (KKA) has gotten 24 senators compared to 23 of the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition.
United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has bagged the seats majorly from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s political bastion of Mt Kenya and Dr. Ruto’s backyard of Rift Valley.
William Ruto has also gotten one senate each from Kakamega, Marsabit, and Tana River Counties.
“It is now official; Kenya Kwanza controls the Senate. Thank you Kenyans for the trust,” Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen posted on his Twitter handle.
Before the election, Ruto had exuded confidence that he will control both the National Assembly and the Senate whether or not he won the presidency.
