IEBC ANNOUNCES KAKAMEGA, MOMBASA ELECTION DATES

Governor elections in Kakamega and Mombasa counties will be held on August 23.

The elections were suspended alongside parliamentary polls in Kacheliba and Pokot South constituencies over ballot mix ups.

IEBC commissioner Francis Wanderi said Tuesday evening that the elections would also be held in Kitui Rural and Rongai in Nakuru county.

He, however, said voters in Eldas should prepare to vote on Wednesday, August 10 starting at 6am.

As at close of voting at 5pm, Wanderi said 12,065,803 million Kenyans had been captured on the KIEMS kits as having voted.

He said the number represented 56.17 per cent voter turn out excluding those who were identified manually.
