Others to congratulate Feisal on his landmark win were former Kakamega senator Dr. Boni Khalwale and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula among many others.
In his statement, Khalwale claims that in Feisal’s win, the “first child of the Hustler Nation is born.”
He attributes the win to God’s mercy according to his Twitter post.

The Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula, on the other hand, says that Feisal won the elections because of agenda and reason over ODM’s insults.
“Congratulations Hon Feisal Abdalla Bader on your election as a member of Parliament for the Musambweni constituency. Reason has triumphed over abuses, insults, and negative and unhelpful displays of political bad manners. We must insist on good political hygiene.” he said.
