Kenya's ruling party Jubilee now has full control of the capital Nairobi after its candidate Mike Mbuvi Sonko won the race for governor.
Mr Sonko, who was the Nairobi senator, beat incumbent Evans Kidero in the elections. The win for the ruling party means it will now fully control the seat of central government, and the industrial and commercial capital city.
