Ford Kenya's Moses Wetang'ula Thursday emerged victorious with a landslide win in the Bungoma Senatorial by-elections.
Mr Wetang'ula garnered 149,458 votes, followed by New Ford Kenya's Musikari Kombo with 81, 016 votes as at 11: 59 pm.
Political analyst David Makali who ran as an independent candidate was a distant third with 2,155 votes while former assistant minister Bifwoli Wakoli was trailed with 1,899 votes from the 942 polling centres.
From the reported voter-turn out by the IEBC, an upset by Mr Kombo against Mr Wetangula's lead was becoming imposible due to the wide margin.
