Imenti Central MP Moses Kirima has been re-elected on Deputy President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket.

Kirima garnered 27,491 votes against Mwenda Makathimo of Mwangi Kiunjuri's The Service Party (TSP) who got 12,278 votes in a constituency that hardly re-elects an MP since the 1990s.
