The immediate former Budalangi Member of Parliament Ababu Namwamba has announced that his political career is not over despite the loss of his parliamentary seat.
Mr Namwamba, who lost to the ODM candidate, Mr Raphael Wanjala, told journalists that he is on a two-week vacation before getting back to politics in preparation for 2022.
"I am enjoying a two-week holiday then I will be back in full force," he conveyed on Monday.
The former ODM Secretary General was pleased that his move to back President Uhuru Kenyatta had borne fruit.
"I am very happy that despite losing, we delivered votes for President Uhuru Kenyatta," he boasted.
The Labour Larty leader hinted that he would contest for a higher seat in the 2022 General Election, adding that politics in the Western region was evolving.
"Western Kenya is witnessing a new dawn and exciting moments. We have a complete generational transition in leadership.
"This is the new consciousness we talked about a year ago. It has worked by helping to hand President Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, a very broad based nationalist mandate," Namwamba asserted.
The outgoing MP intimated that he had no intentions of taking his opponent to court, unlike his Gem counterpart Jakoyo Midiwo who also lost to an ODM candidate Elisha Odhiambo.
"I will go to court but will respect its judgement. Remember we had the right to move to court to report the returning officer. I will go to court because that is the will of my people who deserve better leadership," he told The Standard.
