Jubilee Mt Elgon primaries postponed

Jubilee Party primaries in Mt Elgon constituency have been postponed due to lack of ballot papers. The exercise will now be conducted on Wednesday.

The decision was agreed upon by aspirants and the returning officer after holding a consultative meeting in Kapsokwony.

Ballot papers failed to reach various areas of the expansive constituency.

Returning Officer, Ronald Ruto, stated that there were logistical challenges that hampered the start of the exercise.

"Certain areas could not go on with the exercise as they had not received any ballot paper. An area like Cheptais has not received a ballot paper in the whole ward," said Ruto.

Jubilee primaries in Bungoma County were off to a slow start. 

By 10am many polling stations in Bungoma were yet to start voting as there were delays in distribution of ballot papers.

In Moi Primary School in Township ward voters had to wait for three hours to start voting as there was insufficient voting materials.
