Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wa will be the first member of the 12th Parliament to retain his seat unopposed.

Kimani is the only candidate listed for the Kikuyu MP seat in a gazette notice published by the IEBC on Tuesday.

"All Glory and Honour to the Almighty Lord. In serving my Kikuyu people faithfully, I serve my God fulfilling his wish and purpose of my life." The MP tweeted on his official account.

Kimani, who was elected on the now defunct TNA in 2013, was seeking for re-election under the Jubilee party.

He has served as vice chair of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) in Parliament and is considered a prominent public personality in Kiambu’s political circles.

The 40-year-old studied at Strathmore’s school of Accounting and graduated from the University of Nairobi with an Honours degree in Economics.
