Mbeere north: Mbeere North Parliamentary aspirant on Chama Cha Kazi (CCK) Party Duncan Mbui has alleged that voting in many areas has been marred by massive cases of voter bribery. Mbui, who spoke after casting his vote at Kiathambu Primary School in Ishaira, claimed that voter bribery has been witnessed along the major polling stations despite IEBC’s warning.
According to Kenya News Agency, Mbui expressed his disappointment, stating that it was unfortunate that instead of Mbeere people being given an opportunity to vote for a leader of their choosing, their will was being subverted through inducement. This allegation comes amidst a tense electoral process, raising concerns about the integrity of the vote.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted in Kanyuambora as residents blocked Public Service CS Geoffrey Ruku from accessing the polling station. CS Ruku was forced to retreat hurriedly after angry residents charged at him, accusing him of attempting to interfere with the voting exercise.
The residents took a firm stand, blocking any government or private vehicles from accessing the station, and vowed to guard the votes diligently. They maintained that they would not tolerate any suspicious activity around the polling stations, underscoring their commitment to preserving the integrity of the election process.
