Mwago will now take over from Charles Njagua popularly known as Jaguar.  Jaguar stepped down for Mbugua.

Speaking after being declared the winner, Mwago said he has been a victim of vote-rigging in the past but this time that could not happen to him.

"There have been issues of rigging in past elections in Starehe but this time we were able to quash all attempts of rigging this election," he said.

Chaos and delay had earlier rocked the Starehe constituency tallying centre over the announcement of the parliamentary seat results.

On Thursday night, a senior official from IEBC had to step in an attempt to resolve the stalemate.

He asked the constituents who were at the Jamhuri High School to give the Returning officer Milliam Wanjiru more time in order to announce the results.

Journalists were also caught up in the mix making it hard for them to leave the venue. They were forced to camp overnight.
