Amason Kingi, who was contesting for the Speaker of the Senate in a thick race until Kalonzo Musyoka withdrew the last minute has won.
Amason Kingi who is in the Kenya Kwanza divide has taken the floor with 46 votes while his other five competitors got zero votes. These competitors were; Olouch, George, Karuri, Kinyua and Njoroge
For one to win this race, he or she should get two thirds of votes from all senators. In this case, we have 67 senators and therefore two thirds translates to 45 votes.
Otherwise, the voting process is to be freshly started and the one with most votes is sworn in.
With 46 votes, Amason Jeffah Kingi has surpassed the threshold and therefore won the race. He has since been sworn in as the speaker of the fourth Senate in the 13th Parliament for the next five years.

Congratulations to him. Hope he will deliver
