VICTORY FOR THE SOLE CANDIDATES!

Kisumu, Kenya: It was landslide victory, 97% of "yes votes" for all the three un-opposed candidates for the post of District Governor, 1st Vice District Governor and 2nd Vice District Governor during the Elections at the 11th Multiple District Annual Convention at Kisumu in Kenya. The three Governors Elect will officially take-up their duties effective 1st July for the coming twelve months.

It was all jubilation and merry-making when the results were officially announced in front of the voters, all the registered delegates from Tanzania and Uganda under Sub District 411B. The current District Governor Lion Wilson N. Ndesanjo will continue to exercise his authority as the Governor in charge for the coming two months. 

The incoming Governor Elect, Lion Night Ndyarugahi has set a new record by being the first Lady to hold the reign of power of the Governor in the ten years history of Sub District 411B. Many years ago when her husband Lion Polly Karimari Ndyarugahi was exercising his power as District Governor, Lion Night Ndyarugahi was equally given the honour to be addressed as First Lady of the Sub District.

All seem to be in a jolly mood of celebration! (sorry for out of focus picture).

As at now, PDG Polly K. Ndyarugahi is Chairman of the Multiple Council of District 411.

2nd Vice District Governor Lion Hyderali Gangji has also secured a comfortable 97% to hold the post of 1st Vice District Governor. Lion Vennie Tinkumanya, a seasoned Lion with lots of experience in various fields has been elected as 2nd Vice District Governor.

All the elected Governors in both the sub districts will undergo a brush up of their knowledge of Lionism and in particular their respective duties as Governors. The seminar will be on Sunday just before their departure to their respective stations.
