Douglas Twala Masikonde is the Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Narok Town Ward, elected in the 27 November 2025 by-election on a Democratic Congress Party (DCP) ticket. He won the seat with 6,007 votes, defeating UDA’s Robert Kanyinke Ole Kudate in a closely watched local contest. His victory stood out in a by-election cycle dominated nationally by UDA and ODM, making DCP one of the few smaller parties to secure a ward-level win. Masikonde campaigned on a platform centred around urban development, small-business empowerment and youth inclusion, positioning himself as a fresh, community-driven leader for Narok Town. His win was largely attributed to strong grassroots mobilisation, resonance with local traders and transport operators, and effective ward-level alliances. He enters the Narok County Assembly as a new but influential voice expected to play a role in oversight, urban planning and service-delivery debates.
