His responses reflected an understanding of the challenges facing the constituency and offered proposals aimed at addressing them.Muchina’s experience also featured strongly during the debate.
He previously served as the personal assistant to the late Ol Kalou MP David Kiaraho, a role that allowed him to work closely with residents and participate in development activities across the constituency.
This experience, he said, gave him a deeper understanding of the needs of different communities and the importance of maintaining close contact with the people.
During the discussion, Muchina highlighted several areas that he considers priorities if elected.
He spoke about improving roads to make transport easier for residents and farmers. He also emphasized the need to increase access to clean water, strengthen healthcare services, improve education, and create more employment opportunities for young people.
He pledged to continue development initiatives started under previous leadership while introducing new projects that respond to the changing needs of the constituency.
Among the issues he mentioned were support for free secondary education, expanding opportunities for women and youth, and encouraging economic growth through better infrastructure.
Another aspect of his performance that attracted attention was his composure throughout the debate. Even when challenged by other candidates, Muchina remained calm and responded by explaining his policies instead of engaging in personal exchanges.
He spoke about connecting farmers to markets through better roads, improving security, and ensuring government services are accessible to every part of the constituency.

Following the debate, supporters took to social media to express their views, with many praising Muchina’s presentation.
Several described him as well prepared and focused, saying he presented a clear vision for the future of Ol Kalou.
Others noted that his experience working within the constituency gives him an advantage because he already understands many of the issues affecting residents.
The contest for the Ol Kalou parliamentary seat remains competitive, with candidates from several political parties seeking support from voters.
Among the main challengers is the DCP candidate, making the race one that is expected to attract significant public interest. Even so, many observers believe Muchina’s performance during the televised debate has strengthened his campaign and boosted the UDA’s position ahead of the by-election.
