A parliamentary aspirant from Kisii was rushed to hospital after he collapsed on learning that he was trailing his opponent in Tuesday’s General Election.

The MP passed out in his house while listening to radio on the vote-counting updates, forcing his family to quickly rush him to a nearby hospital in a bid to save his life. The lawmaker who had invested heavily in the campaigns and was seen dishing out cash on the final stretch, could not believe the news he was hearing about losing the seat he has held for the last 10 years.

The MP is reportedly recuperating in a Nairobi hospital, where he was transferred.
