Former Lamu governor Issa Abdallah Timamy of ANC has recaptured the seat after deafeating incumbent Fahim Yasin Twaha of the Jubilee Party in the 2022 polls.
Timamy garnered 24,198 votes against Twaha's 16,054 votes.
The Lawyer served as the first governor of Lamu at the advent of the devolved system of government in 2013.
But in the 2017 general elections, Timamy lost the seat to the incumbent.
He, however, made a successful comeback on Saturday morning after he was announced the new Lamu governor by Lamu returning officer Maro Ade at the Lamu Fort Hall -the county tallying center.
Also in the Gubernatorial race were former deputy governor Eric Mugo of Narc-Kenya who got 2,151 votes and Umra Omar Bwana who managed 7,556 votes.
Speaking shortly after he was awarded his certificate, Timamy thanked the people of Lamu for voting for him and vowed not to disappoint them.
He said he was elated to be the people's choice and swore to restore Lamu’s lost glory.
"I will ensure the hospitals are well-equipped and have adequate medical personnel to enable the Lamu people to have easy access to quality health care," said Timamy.
He pledged to restore festivals in the region as they were a major boost to the Tourism sector and ensure the Lamu old town regains its 'Island of festivals' status.
He said his plan is to achieve a ten-year development record in a span of five years.
“We will come up with a rapid results initiative that will ensure that within the first 100 days in office, we move with speed to ensure our key sectors, including health, education, tourism, fishing, and agriculture, among others, are revived,” said Timamy.
Residents across the region broke into jubilation shortly after Timamy was declared the winner.
