Ol Kalou MP-elect Sammy Douglas Kamau Waweru has praised Nyandarua Senator John Methu, describing him as the driving force behind his successful parliamentary campaign.
Waweru said Methu went beyond offering political support by dedicating his time, resources and home to the campaign that culminated in the by-election victory.
The MP-elect said in a post on Saturday that the senator served not only as his campaign team leader but also as one of his closest confidants throughout the race.
"Some people support a campaign. Others dedicate their entire lives to it. Senator John Methu did the latter," Waweru said.
He credited Methu with giving his "heart, mind and soul" to the campaign, describing him as his greatest pillar during months of intense political mobilisation.
