ODM Party candidate Stephen Kariuki beat his closest rival TNA’s George Wanjohi by a slim 800 votes garnering 14,966 votes. His TNA counterpart garnered 14,082 votes.

The by-election which was vigorously campaigned for by both President Uhuru and Raila Odinga was marked by heavy security presence and a low voter turnout.

Independent candidate William Omondi Opondo came 3rd with only 194 votes followed by Crispus Fwamba Nyanganga with 66 votes, Muthoni Macharia Mariam 39 votes, Sammy Jentruo Mudanya 37 votes, Barack Blasto Obat 19 votes, Billian Okoth Ojiwa 15 votes and Nixon Kambarage Kavai 11 votes.
