"content": "So, we further want to follow the precedent set in the country pertaining to elections and coming to mind very quickly is a case as occurred in the year 2007 following the elections with respect to the Wajir North Constituency, where hon. Dr. Ali and Mr. Gabbow who currently sit and serve in the House tied and no winner was declared prompting a by-election following which hon. Gabbow was elected. We will follow that precedent and in compliance, therefore, with the rules, I will direct that fresh elections be held with respect to the cluster relating to NARC-Kenya – a fresh election which is tantamount to a by-election and I direct that this takes place at 4.00 p.m. today in the House. I am informed that because of certain technical details and logistics, we may need a further half hour and so, it will be held at 4.30 p.m. today in the House. Hon. Members, we will then proceed to the next cluster which is that of the Party of National Unity (PNU). In this cluster, I declare Nkanae Saoli Ole duly elected, garnering 67 votes."
