Many perennial election losers in Mt Kenya region have the yellow wave to thank for securing their victory in the August 9 General Election.

They included Njoroge Wainaina (Kieni) Peter Kihungi (Kangema) Duncan Mathenge (Nyeri Town) who were all elected on United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket, defeating heavyweights allied mainly to the Jubilee Party.

Mathenge, a one-time political advisor to the first Nyeri Governor, the late Nderitu Gachagua, who was making his third stab for the seat, toppled Jubilee's Ngunjiri Wambugu.
