Governor Munya said the results are computer generated and he will challenge them in court.
However, Mwiria earlier in the day conceded defeat as the results showed him trailing Murungi and Munya by a huge magin.
According to the latest IEBC tally, a total of 1418 out of 1473 polling stations have released their results with the county recording a 75.9 per cent voter turnout.
