United Democratic Alliance Millicent Omanga has accepted defeat in the just concluded August polls.
"I want to thank the people of Nairobi who voted for me and those who didn't. I accept the results even though they're not in my favour," she said.
Omanga came second with 586,246 votes after ODM's Esther Passaris won with 698,929 votes.
Omanga also took the opportunity to congratulate Passaris on the win. She hoped to clinch the seat she lost in 2017 to Passaris.
"Esther Passaris has won, she deserves our support and prayers as she steers the office of Woman Rep for the next 5 years. May God bless our country," she said.
Passaris was re-elected to her position for the second term.
Other candidates in the race were nominated senators Beatrice Kwamboka (ODM), former MCA Wambui Ng'ang'a, ANC's Sylvia Mulama and actresses Ali Iptisam Zeid.
Omanga has worked in fields such as interior design as the founder and CEO of Milways Enterprises, a company dealing in construction, interior décor and import of furniture.
She has never shied away from attributing her success to Deputy President William Ruto, who she says lifted her from hawking and made her a public figure.
In 2013, she was appointed director of the Kenya Electricity Generating Company which Omanga said the DP played a role.
