Kenyan Parliament said that 24-year-old Young Lady Won Elections For A Seat ..

 24-year-old Cynthia Jepkosgei Muge is the newly elected MCA of Kilibwoni ward, Nandi County, Kenya.

Muge ran as an independent candidate because she could not afford the cost of her party’s nomination form.

She shocked many in the Jubilee Party stronghold after she emerged victorious with 8760 votes defeating her

 closest competitor Wilson Kiptanui of Jubilee who garnered 8354 votes

“I took a chance as an Independent candidate and won after a difficult penniless campaign,” Muge told

journalists.

The University of Nairobi graduate attributed her victory to low key issue-based campaigns that directly

 targeted voters in their homes as well as her determination despite multiple challenges

Her friends also lent her a helping hand by using the social media, especially Facebook, to solicit votes.

Muge has a Bachelor’s degree in Planning, City/Urban, Community and Regional Planning from the

 University of Nairobi.
