Remember 26-year-old Symon Muturi who, so to speak, clinched an MCA seat in Nyeri county from the saddle of his worn-out bicycle?

He raised just Sh30,000 for his campaign and still managed to clinch the seat!

Well, the Gatitu MCA has since upgraded from the rusty old bicycle that had been branded in Jubilee colours, to a brand new car, a Toyota Land Cruiser V8, no less!

And Muturi has officially ditched the Bachelors’ Club.

On Saturday, the Gatitu MCA, his fiancée Eunice Gichohi and their bridal team arrived at PCEA Muruguru to exchange wedding vows in luxurious vehicles,  including a swanky Land Cruiser V8.

Muturi looked dapper in a navy blue suit while his bride dazzled in a beautiful white gown with a flowing tail that made her look like Cinderella in her fairy wedding.

Though he is still referred to as ‘MCA wa Muithikiri’ (the bicycle MCA), the new seat has brought good tidings his way.

A fleet of Toyota Prados, among other luxurious vehicles, formed along convoy to the church and the reception.

Area residents also turned out in large numbers to witness the flashy wedding.
