Political campaigns are not just opportunities to seek to serve, but also a great chance to reach out and build bridges, as well as understand people, their dreams, aspirations and desires. Campaigns have ended, with varied results across board. The hustle and bustle of campaigning is now replaced by the quiet strategy and plans of those elected, as well as the reflections of those not elected.
Regardless of the results, nothing can ever replace the priceless feeling of every moment I spent with people from all walks of life, getting to understand their strengths and appreciate their challenges. For this, I am a better person, more informed and absolutely thrilled to always be one of you. These lessons I shall carry all my life, and apply in every station of life that I take, moving forward.
Allow me to congratulate all those who have been granted an opportunity to serve, and send my best wishes to those who didn't make it. No ambition ends at the ballot box, for the ambitious always rise from adversity at every corner. I see in me, and in all the people of Nairobi and indeed the entire Country, the resilience that makes every fall a chance to rise again.
This is a note to say THANK YOU for everything, and for all the support, all through the campaign and election period. I have been touched by your kindness, by your belief in me, and by the long hours you spent in the queue to vote for me. I will never take all that for granted.
On behalf of my Team, our election agents and everyone who worked day and night to make this possible, I say may God bless you and your families.
ASANTENI SANA!
