Voters burn ballot papers as Jubilee primaries kick off

Jubilee party nominations have been thrown into disarray in Laikipia County

This was after ballot materials were burnt at five polling stations in Laikipia East constituency.

The centers affected include Kanyoni, Mugumo, Bungoma, Likii and Nyaregeno primary schools.

Tore and burned pares

At Baraka dispensary, voters tore up ballot papers and destroyed the boxes carrying them.

Angry claimed that the ballot papers delivered were insufficient for the high number of voters who turned out.

They also said that they were also unhappy that polling officers were using the 2013 Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) register instead of the updated one.

In Trans Nzoia, protesters opposed to the closure of polling centres before the scheduled time burnt ballot papers being delivered to the Kwanza tallying centre.
