John Mwirigi, who carried out campaigns on a bicycle, currently has 18,986 votes against Jubilee's Joseph Miriti who has 15,724.
"We decided to elect him. He had no money for campaigns but he offered good pledges and his manifesto was good," a resident told The Star.
Mwirigi is still a student at Mount Kenya University. He may be one of the youngest legislators in the next Parliament.
Tallying of results countrywide has been underway since most polling stations closed at 5pm on Tuesday.
IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati said results being streamed are not final amid claims by the NASA coalition that the agency's system was hacked.
The electoral agency said final results are being collated from forms 34A and 34B.
By 9am today, it had received 28,000 out of the 40,883 form 3As across the country, which can be accessed on its online portal.
