Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Some unmarked ballot boxes and Kiems kits have been found at the NITA training centre in Mavoko constituency.<\/p>\n

Chief agent for Machakos governor candidate Nzioka Waita, Erick Maweu reported the boxes are not marked and no one had claimed them.<\/p>\n

He said they have no idea who came with the ballot boxes as they were not accompanied by a presiding officer.<\/p>\n

Maweu claimed they do not know the contents in the boxes as the only thing seen are papers and the kits.<\/p>\n

“Police have stopped us from taking photos and checking what is inside,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Chief agent noted that IEBC officials at the centre were unaware of the unmarked ballot boxes.<\/p>\n

The Machakos governor\u2019s seat has attracted five candidates, including Waita.<\/p>\n

Others are former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama, former Transport and Infrastructure CAS Wavinya Ndeti, Deputy Governor Francis Maliti and Rose Mulwa of the Empowerment and Liberation Party.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Ndeti had also raised claims of election malpractices.<\/p>\n

There was tension at a polling station in Machakos county following a mix-up of Forms 37A on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The incident prompted Wavinya to storm Imani polling station in Athi River, Mavoko, at around 1 am.<\/p>\n

Machakos county police commander Issa Mohammud said Wavinya made a report at Athi River police station, with rigging claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an incident involving a presiding officer at a polling station in Imani polling centre on Tuesday night. Agents of governor candidates realized a mix-up in Form 37A after the presiding officer issued them the form to sign,\u201d Mohammud said.<\/p>\n

Mohammud spoke to the Star on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ndeti\u2019s result had been recorded as her CCU competitor Nzioka Waita\u2019s, while his was recorded as Wavinya’s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agents realised that Ndeti\u2019s results had been wrongly entered in Form 37A by the presiding officer at Amani polling station. The error was, however, rectified and a new form was filled with Ndeti\u2019s correct results,\u201d Mohammud said.<\/p>\n
