Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula has been re-elected.
Results announced by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission showed the Ford Kenya boss garnered 286,143 votes.
The Wetangula-led Ford-Kenya party is an affiliate in the Kenya Kwanza alliance led by Deputy President William Ruto.
Outgoing Bungoma deputy governor Charles Ngome, journalist Advice Mundalo and politician Machacha Machembe had thrown their hats in the ring in bid to oust Wetangula.
Machacha has so far conceded defeat and thanked, especially the people of Sirisia, who he said stood with him.
"I want to thank all who stood by me and voted for me, especially in Sirisia, where I got 21,000 votes ," Machacha said.
On August 10, he lauded Wetnagula for the big victory to retain his seat.
“According to the preliminary results that are streaming in, it shows that Wetang’ula is taking this seat very early,” he said.
“Elections are not about fighting, let other contestants in other positions accept the poll's results and back those who have won.”
