Caleb Amisi: UDA cannot win in Ol Kalou under any circumstances, even by stealing
By Mabonga Makhanu, July 15, 2026Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has claimed that the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) stands no chance of winning the upcoming Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, insisting that even attempts to manipulate the outcome would not change the voters’ verdict.
In a statement shared on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, Amisi said he had spent three days touring Ol Kalou, visiting all wards and interior villages to gauge the political mood on the ground.
According to the outspoken legislator, he travelled extensively by car, boda boda, and on foot, allowing him to interact directly with residents across the constituency.
“I was in Ol Kalou for three days. I moved to all wards and interior villages. I drove, used a boda boda, walked on foot, and interacted deeply with the locals,” Amisi said.
Based on his assessment, the MP argued that UDA could not secure victory in the by-election under any circumstances.
“UDA cannot win in Ol Kalou under any circumstances, even by stealing,” he claimed.
Amisi further maintained that the outcome of the by-election must accurately reflect the wishes of voters, warning against any form of electoral malpractice.
“Ol Kalou results must reflect what is on the ground, and we will not accept monkey business,” he added.
He also claimed that the race is primarily between the newly formed People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM), the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), and the Jubilee Party, dismissing other contenders as having little influence in the contest.
Amisi’s Ol Kalou campaign
His remarks come after he was seen over the weekend, before the campaign period ended, traversing the constituency alongside his party’s candidate, Timothy Kariuki.
While addressing Ol Kalou residents, he urged the electorate to throw their weight behind the PRM candidate, who captured national attention while presenting his nomination papers to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) while riding on a donkey.
According to the area returning officer, all electoral materials have been packed and are ready for dispatch to the 114 polling stations across the constituency.
Security preparedness
Following earlier incidents of insecurity in the area, the National Police Service has deployed more than 1,000 police officers to provide security during the exercise, with a minimum of two officers assigned to each polling station.
