Ayacko garnered 85,234 votes to defeat four other candidates among them his key rival Eddy Oketch of the Federal Party of Kenya (FPK), who secured 60,555 votes. 

Ayacko succeeds the late Ben Oluoch Okello who died in June.

The win has confirmed that the Orange Democratic Movement led by opposition leader Raila Odinga is still the dominant party in the region.
