The singer-cum-politician (Bahati) was vying on a Jubilee party ticket and emerged third after getting 8,166 votes.
Bahati followed UDA’s Billian Ojiwa who managed 16,912 and incumbent MP Anthony Oluoch of ODM who fought to retain his seat after amassing 28,098 votes.

"Three days since voting happened, 21 ballot boxes tampered with. I have been waiting to be declared the winner and to be handed over the official certificate as the Mathare MP-elect," he said.
Adding;
"Dear I.E.B.C. We Need Answers!!! Everything is at Stand Still at The St. Teresa's Tallying Centre and We can Sense Rigging Plans... TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!"
Bahati is yet to concede defeat.
