“From the results that we've tallied at the Generali centre, my competitor Jalang'o has a lead and I want to congratulate his as he prepares to take the mantle and move Langata forward. Siasa si chuki. God bless Langata,” the first time MP said in his statement.
Korir was vying for the Parliamentary seat on the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket under the Kenya Kwanza umbrella while Jalang'o was on the ballot courtesy of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) - a party affiliated to the Azimio la Umoja Coalition party.

“Done! Never thought that I will vote for myself in a general election! We present hopes, dreams and determination! Come out and vote!
