The well-wisher, a lawyer by profession, said he was moved after seeing Allan, popularly linked to the “Aloo Aloo” campaign movement, tearful following the conclusion of the election.
“When I saw Allan, the student who came second in the much-publicised Tenri School elections, in tears, my heart broke,” he said. “Losing an election is hard. As a small gesture of support, I sent him something,” Jamuh Mureithi, the well-wisher said.
He added that although he does not know Allan personally, he hopes the school will allow him to receive the gift, emphasising that setbacks are part of leadership growth.
“I know he will grow stronger and we will be cheering him on as he puts the current school government to check,” he said.
