Mr Kimunya conceded defeat and thanked voters.
"We appreciate that life is dynamic, shaped by constantly emerging and often surprising circumstances. We did our best for Kipipiri, we are proud of our achievements, and that history will never be erased. The people have however made their choice, and we respect it. We wish them well."
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Cheboi was another big casualty in the election. He lost his Kuresoi North parliamentary seat. Cheboi who was vying as an independent candidate garnered 20,395 votes losing the battle to Alfred Mutai of UDA who got 25,365 votes.
Mutai who is the outgoing Sirikwa Ward Rep thanked the residents for supporting him in his first attempt and maintaining peace during and after the elections.
"I am thankful for the peace and tolerance demonstrated by the people of Kuresoi North during this period. It is proof that the area had been wrongly mapped out as a violence hotspot," said Mutai.
