On November 11, 2019, Imran Okoth was declared the winner of the Kibra by-elections, garnering 24,636 votes to beat Jubilee's McDonald Mariga.
Behind every successful man, there must be a woman, and for Imran Okoth, that woman is his wife, Anne Ithara Okoth, his companion of many years.
Although not much is known about her, she was seen by her husband's side during the just-concluded Kibra by-elections.
Imran Okoth, a converted Muslim, decided to convert to Islam owing to his upbringing in Kibra, where most of his friends were Nubians.
According to Imran, 'He never left Kibra. He has spent his whole life there. He settled there and is married with children. The name Imran is not an alias. That became his name after he became a Muslim.'
