Kiambaa MP-elect John Njuguna Wanjiku hit the headlines after United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a party linked to Deputy President William Ruto, handed him the certificate for the by-election.

The 36-year-old non-starter evangelist-turned-politician rose to fame as Ruto’s Tangatanga MPs pitched tent in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s backyard to woo votes for more than two months.
