The MP, not new to controversy was Tuesday arrested over assault claims.

Nakuru County Police Commander Peter Mwanzo said the MP allegedly stormed a polling station and assaulted a candidate.

The lawmaker would however be released on a Sh50,000 bond after spending a night in police custody.

Meanwhile, Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino was Thursday declared the Embakasi East MP-elect, after clinching the seat with over 65,000 votes.

Babu vied on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party ticket, beating his closest competitor Francis Mureithi and four other candidates.
