Kajiado Governor Joseph Lenku has survived the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) wave to earn himself a second term in a razor thin contest beating Kajiado South MP Katoo Ole Metito and his predecessor David Nkedianye.

Governor Lenku of ODM garnered 117,600 votes. He polled highly in rural areas compared to urban centres mostly occupied by immigrants who majority either voted for UDA or Jubilee candidates.
