Under his leadership as the current ODM Chairperson in Westlands, the party won all ward-level MCA seats, including Kangemi, Kitisuru, Mountain View, and Parklands, with Karura won by an Azimio coalition affiliate.
His personal victory in the Westlands parliamentary race saw him garner over 30,000 votes more than his closest UDA challenger, further underscoring his popularity and the trust voters place in him.
