The Migori Senate by-election kicked off on Monday with a low turn out.
Despite major campaign rallies by all six aspirants for the seat urging voters to turn out to cast their votes, empty queues and empty polling centres hall greeted IEBC officials.
Attempts by youths to wake up voters at dawn using whistles and vuvuzela were futile. Migori has more than 388,000 voters.
Most businesses in major towns in the county such as Migori, Sori, Awendo and Rongo remained closed, but voters didn’t turn out to vote.
“We have seen empty polling centres across the county, we are facing low turnout,” Hellen Oyaro, former nominated MCA, who cast her vote at St Peters Uriri Primary School in Uriri constituency said.
