Nandi Governor Cleophas Lagat has conceded defeat after humiliating Jubilee Party nomination results were announced.
Senator Stephen Sang pulled a surprise and claimed an early victory, becoming the first senator to trounce his governor.
The Nandi governor seat attracted several other aspirants, key among them former ministers Henry Kosgey, Felix Koskei and the only female aspirant, Yulita Mitei.
Sang had also emerged the victor in the 2013 general elections after contesting on a United Republican Party (URP) ticket while Kosgey lost after braving the storm using an ODM ticket. In Elgeyo Marakwet, both Governor Alex Tolgos and Senator Kipchumba Murkomen emerged victors.
MPs James Murgor (Keiyo North), William Kisang (Marakwet West), Kangogo Bowen (Marakwet East) managed to get the Jubilee ticket while woman representative, Susan Chebet, was beaten in the race won by a new entrant, Jane Chebaibai, while Daniel Rono clinched Keiyo South.
