Mpusia added that the by-election was conducted peacefully and thanked the UDA team for their support, highlighting that the win reflects the confidence that the Purko Ward residents have in UDA’s leadership.

He also emphasised that his victory signals the continuation of UDA’s two-term government agenda in the ward and reassured residents that he will serve them diligently and lead effectively.

“We had a peaceful campaign, and I want to thank our UDA team. My win means that UDA is ruling here, which means we are in the two-term government,” he added.

“I also want to thank other leaders who are with us here. This decision has been made by Purko Ward residents, and I want to thank them and tell them that I will work for them well and lead them effectively. I want to urge also those we have been competing with to walk with me in this leadership journey,” he said.
