National Assembly Moses Wetangula has congratulated US Vice President Kamala Harris for “outdoing herself” in the US elections.
Wetangula note that Harris had done great being a first time candidate and a woman of colour.
He also noted that Harris had achieved a lot and has a reason to celebrate her votes, considering she entered into the race late.
He urged her to stay relevant in politics, expressing high hopes for her win in 2028.
“To Kamala Harris Congratulations for fight well fought. For a woman of color and in your first attempt you have outdone yourself.” he said.
“You have performed way beyond anybody's expectation. Stay relevant in the political arena, do not disappear into oblivion, 2028 will be your year.”
Wetangula also congratulated the 47th President Donald Trump for winning the race.
“Congratulations Donald Trump. Democracy has once again had its success for having an undisputed winner in what was a hotly contested race,” he said.
Harris was formerly name the Democratic presidential nomination in a vote of party delegates, in August 2024.
This was merely three months into the elections.
She ran unopposed in the virtual roll call after President Joe Biden stepped aside in July and quickly endorsed her.
Harris formally became the nominee after securing the support of 2,350 delegates, the threshold required to earn the nomination.
The Vice President, 59, was born in Oakland, California, and became the first Democratic nominee in the party's nearly 200-year history to hail from a western state.
She is the first black woman and first South Asian woman to become the White House standard-bearer for a major US political party.
Her and Trump’s rate was a close call up until the end of the counting where the latter got 277 electoral votes with Harris having 224.
Earlier on, Harris cancelled her expected election night appearance at Howard University in Washington DC, after Trump gained momentum as early results began to trickle in.
Trump swept the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.
CBS projected that as expected, Trump stormed to victory
in conservative strongholds from Florida to Idaho, while Harris won liberal
states from New York to California.
