The United opposition team lost most tactical seats in the just concluded by-elections.
The Mbeere North seat was so coveted for both the government of the day, Kenya Kwanza, and the opposition team led by Gachagua.
Interestingly, the two seats were taken by the UDA Party leaving Gachagua explaining how that happened.
According to Gachagua, voters bribery, intimidation and state machinery was one of the things that led to the United opposition losing both Malava and Mbeere North by-elections.
