The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has 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 recognize 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.
