Koimburi was declared the winner after clinching 12,159 votes, followed by his Jubilee opponent Susan Waititu, who attained a distance with 5,746 votes. The total number of votes cast was 21,862 with 150 rejected votes.
Earlier, the Jubilee candidate Susan Waititu had stormed out of the tallying centre at Mangu High School, protesting against the results being announced by the IEBC.
Her supporters were heard chanting; "No Susan, no peace." They claimed that the votes had been rigged at night and demanded a recount.
On Tuesday evening, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced that it had suspended the tallying process for Juja constituency following the disruption by a group of individuals led by Kiambu Governor James Nyoro.
Condemning the incident IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati said “These acts of hooliganism made it impossible for the tallying process to proceed."
The ruling Jubilee party has suffered an embarrassing loss in the just concluded by-elections bearing in mind that they lost in both Rurii Ward in Nyandarua and Bonchari constituency in Kisii.
