Lang'ata MP Nixon Korir has accepted defeat even before IEBC announced the official results.
The legislator took to social media to thank the Lang'ata residents for according him an opportunity to be their Member of Parliament for the last five years.
"To the people of Lang'ata, I sincerely thank you for according me an opportunity to be your Member of Parliament for the last 5 years," Korir said
"It's been a great opportunity that gave me an avenue to contribute to our nation building and service to the people," he added.
Going further, Korir congratulated his main rival, former Kiss FM presenter Felix Odiwour alias Jalang'o for an early win, saying "Siasa si chuki.'
"From the results that we've tallied at the Generali centre, my competitor Jalango has a lead and I want to congratulate him as he prepares to take the mantle and move Langata forward," he stated.
In an attempt to court 145,649 voters, Korir was seeking to defend his seat under the UDA ticket facing Jalang'o, who won the ODM primaries.
IEBC officials are still counting the votes and are yet to declare the winner in the tight race.
