Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja defied the orders of the coalition and participated in the elections.
The first time governor, elected on a Wiper Party ticket, left locals surprised after he turned up at Mwakishimba Primary School in Wundayi constituency to cast his vote.
Since his election in August, Samboja has broken from the NASA ranks by making statements showing support for Jubilee.
He made an appearance at a Jubilee rally earlier this month where he said that he was willing to work with the Jubilee government. The rally was presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Addressing the press after voting, the former radio presenter said he had exercised his right like any other Kenyan.
“The process was smooth. Voting is a democratic right of every Kenyan as enshrined in the Constitution,” he said.
He made it clear that nobody should infringe his right to vote for his favorite presidential candidate.
Samboja said that he will continue working with the national government after uhuru Kenyatta is sworn in as president.
Samboja had shown open defiance to Raila Odinga even during the campaign period by openly showing support to president Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.
