Uriri MP Mark Nyamita and his closest political rival in last general elections Jared Kwaga met for the first time after heated campaigns.

The two met at Nyamita’s home, which Kwaga visited for the first time, to condole over the death of Nyamita’s brother.

“I welcome Kwaga to my home, we have a funeral and my friend and fiercest rival in last polls came to condole with us which is a sign of political maturity,” Nyamita said.

He said they meeting showed that Uriri and Migori should embrace peaceful and mature politics.

Kwaga passed his condolences and said the meeting was up to foster ‘Uriri Unity’ a term he used to refer to development coming to the constituency.

“As the man who came second to Nyamita I decided to calm down and let him work, which he has done. Sadly some people elsewhere have decided to talk I’ll about Uriri,” Kwaga said.

He said Nyamita has brought President William Ruto to the constituency twice and some county leaders castigating him over it often drool over Ruto’s visit in nearby Homa Bay county.

“We appreciate Nyamita and his leadership, he is accessible and serves Uriri well by fostering Uriri Unity which we will guard against those who want to shutter it,” Kwaga said.

He said Migori and county leadership should borrow development leaf from Homa Bay county instead of attacking those who are working.
