Jalang'o was declared the winner in the Thursday, April 22 polls with 3,509 votes, followed by Oscar Omoke with 1,612 votes.
Former Gor Mahia Treasurer Sally Bolo received 138 votes in the race.
Taking to his social media, the media personality thanked his supporters for their support, while also promising to hand over the seat to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party.
"God has given me the chance to fly the Azimio Flag in the August elections. Thank you Langata. We are one step in. Now the real work begins and God is above everything," read the statement.
Jalang'o will face off with incumbent, Nixon Korir of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). His victory comes after weeks of speculation that he would withdraw from the race, with reports claiming that the party would issue a direct ticket to another candidate. Catherine Mumma, the party's ODM National Elections Board Chairperson, refuted these allegations.
"We are pleased to inform our members that the process of consensus-building with respect to the positions of governor, senator and woman rep, and MPs for the two counties Nairobi and Mombasa is progressing well and the conclusion shall thereof be communicated as soon as we finalize," Mumma stated.
In Kibra, long-serving high school principal Peter Ochieng' Orero received 3,422 votes to defeat incumbent MP Imran Okoth, who received 2,739 votes in the nominations.
