Wajackoyah garner 49 votes in own polling station
Roots Party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah has failed to garner sufficient votes in his polling station in Matungulu, Kakamega county.
According to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) statistics, he received only 49 votes, falling short of Azimio presidential contender Raila Odinga’s 799 votes, Deputy President William Ruto received 109 votes while Agano party leader Waihiga Mwaure received two.
Wajackoyah yesterday had delayed casting his vote after the Kiems kit failed to identify him.
He arrived at Indangalasia Primary school in Matungu constituency at 10:10 am in a two-vehicle convoy but could not vote due to a technical error.
He engaged briefly with the presiding officer before walking out.
“I understand what it is, but how long should I wait to vote?” he posed.
Several more voting locations in Matungu Constituency reported KIEMs kit failure for more than four hours like in Namulungu, Mirere, Namanga, and Khalaba polling stations due to KIEMs kit failure.
