Chebukati attributed the suspension to discrepancies discovered on the ballot boxes as photos of candidates vying for the seats were incorrect as well as their names.
“Ballot papers for the following elective positions were noted to have errors. Ballot papers for Kakamega county governor positions, Mombasa County have wrong gubernatorial candidate pictures and the details printed on them. Positions for members of the National Assembly in Pokot South and three in Kachiriba also have wrong gubernatorial candidate pictures and the details printed on them,” said Chebukati.
“As a result, elections for their respective positions have been suspended to a later date which shall be announced through a gazette notice.”
