The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) won all the four seats in a by-election marked by low voter turnout. Isiolo South constituency candidate Mohammed Tubi won the seat with 7,352 votes, trouncing his closest rival, Bina Tubi of the Jubilee party, who garnered 634 votes. The IEBC formally declared the seat vacant after he died while receiving medical treatment in Nairobi on November 12 last year. Tubi Mohammed and Bina Mohammed, both children of the late former MP Mohamed Tubi, went head-to-head in a high-stakes contest that captivated residents of the constituency. Other mini-polls were conducted across the country to fill vacant county assembly seats.
