Walter Nyambati on his victory of this by-election. I know I was on the opposite side of the divide. However, this was all in the cause of advancing democracy. I believe that I had a right to stand there, oppose Nyambati in an effort to ensure the candidate of my party wins. This is all in the cause of democracy."}
