Content creator and political commentator Cassypool has explained why he threw his full support behind Boyd Were during the 2025 Kasipul by-election.

Speaking on Monday, December 1, 2025, Cassypool said his decision was driven by performance and credibility.

“I don’t support failures, nor do I rotate with failures. That’s why you saw me support Boyd Were, and he became the Member of Parliament,” he said.

Cassypool also claimed that even Money Bior, whom he previously criticised, eventually shifted camp after recognising Were’s growing influence.

“After realising ya kwamba supporting your brother, Money Bior was a failure, he joined me, and Boyd Were. I don’t support failures. I rotate with winners,” Cassypool said.

Cassypool has increasingly positioned himself as an outspoken voice during political seasons, often using his platform to champion candidates he believes can deliver results.

Boyd Were

This comes a few days after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had declared Boyd Ongondo Were of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) the duly elected Member of the National Assembly for Kasipul Constituency.

Returning Officer Rebecca Abwaku announced the results late Friday, November 28, 2025, confirming that Were clinched victory with an impressive 16,819 votes, securing a clear lead over his closest competitor, Philip Nashon Aroko, an independent candidate, who garnered 8,476 votes.

The contest featured 10 candidates, making Kasipul one of the most competitive parliamentary by-elections in the November 27, 2025, mini-polls.

In a statement issued after the results, the IEBC commended the electorate for turning out to exercise their democratic right.

“The Commission would like to thank our voters and stakeholders for their participation and support in the #27thNovByelections,” IEBC said, adding that it was grateful for the smooth conduct of the polls.

The Commission also extended appreciation to its staff for their professionalism and commitment.

“IEBC would also like to recognise and appreciate our election officials for their dedication, hard work and professionalism throughout the planning and conduct of these by-elections,” the statement read.

The Kasipul result adds to a series of by-elections held across the country, marking an important moment as political parties test their grassroots strength ahead of the 2027 General Election.
