Tubi Mohamed Tubi, 36, of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), has been declared the MP-elect of Isiolo South Constituency after garnering 7,352 votes. At the same time, his closest challenger and elder sister, Bina of Jubilee, emerged a distant second with 634 votes in the exercise marred by low voter turnout.

Isaac Abduba Fayo, who was nominated by the National Economic Development Party (NEDP) but quit the race in favour of the UDA flag-bearer, got a paltry 44 votes.
