Mwalimu King’ang’i loses bet to Maina Kageni as Trump wins US Election

Classic 105 Presenter Mwalimu King’ang’i has lost at least sh10, 000 to his co-host Maina Kageni.

The duo had placed a bet on the ongoing US election, with Maina predicting that  Donald Trump was going to be the 47^th President of the United States of America.

On the other hand, Mwalimu was banking on Vice President Kamala Harris to win so that he could be Sh10,000 richer.

However, the current projection show that Trump, who was representing Republicans, is claiming victory over Kamala, who was the Democratic candidate.

An excited Maina Kageni shared that he had already collected his Sh10, 000 from King’ang’I who was supporting Kamala.

“Donald Trup is the 47^th President if the United States of America. This is the money from King’ang’i and he has decided to pay me in 100 notes. But Sh10, 000 is still Sh10, 000,” Maina said.

Donald Trump’s win

Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. He will be only the second man in history to serve two non-consecutive terms as president.

Here he is at 78 years old, facing multiple scandals over his career, multiple court cases - criminal and civil, a conviction, sentencing in three weeks' time, and escaping death but a fraction from an assassin's bullet.

And here he is, having persuaded what looks like a majority of the American people to send him back to Washington into the White House.

In some Democratic Party circles, the postmortem is already beginning despite a result not officially having been called yet.

Trump just briefly mentioned the assassination attempt made on him in July, which he survived after a bullet grazed his ear at a campaign rally.

He tells the crowd his life was "saved for a reason"—a  suggestion that was made throughout his campaign.

Trump says he'll bring "every ounce of spirit and fight" to the White House, and that being president is the "most important job in the world". He adds that he'll run his government on the motto: "Promises made, promises kept."

As a reminder: Trump has declared victory in this election but he's not yet reached the required number of electoral college votes. He's four shy of the 270 he needs. Kamala Harris is on 218.
