The General Election was poised to pull some surprises in Western Kenya as political heavyweights battled newcomers to retain their seats.
The major contest was between the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) of Raila Odinga, Ford-Kenya of Moses Wetangula, Amani National Congress (ANC) of Musalia Mudavadi and Democratic Action Party (DAP K) of Wafula Wamunyinyi.
DAP-K is an offshoot of FORD-K that entered the political arena mid last year following internal FORD-K wrangles. This was after a coup that was plotted to unseat Wetang'ula as the party leader hit a dead end. By the time of going to press last evening provisional results showed Dick Maungu (DAP-K) had garnered 9,729 votes against current Luanda MP Chris Omulele (ODM) who had 7,579 votes.
