Speaking on Thursday, Musila said that he had called Ngilu to conceed defeat.
Mr Musila thanked Kitui voters for turning up in large numbers.
"I thank the more than 108,000 people who voted for me.
"However, those votes did not translate to victory and I therefore concede defeat and ask the people of Kitui to support the Governor elect Hon Charity Kaluki Ngilu," the statement read.
Mr Musila called on other candidate and incumbent Julius Malombe of Wiper party to accept the results.
"Dr Malombe should do likewise by accepting the results to allow the people to heal and move on."
