MP-elect for Langata constituency Phelix Odiwour alias Jalango is celebrating his win.
This is his maiden attempt at politics and
it has not been a smooth ride.
A day before he was announced the winner, netizens mocked him using memes claiming he had lost.
Only for the tide to change and his opponent Nixon Korir to concede.
The only visible celebrity who stood by him was Sauti Sol's lead vocalist Bien Aime Barasa.
He tweeted on August 10, a day before he was announced the MP-elect.
"Congratulations @JalangoMwenyewe no guts no glory."
Now, KOT is awash with congratulatory messages from all quarters.
In his maiden speech, Jalango - who now prefers being addressed as Langata One - said,
"We don't want to leave anyone out, this thing is not about us it is about Langata."
Commenting on Nick Korir's decision to concede, Jalango said, "It is always good to have
mature leaders like him and we appreciate him for that because that selflessness is the reason we have peaceful moments here."
Here are some congratulatory messages from his fellow celebrities.
