Voting at Riambase Primary School polling station, Kisii County was delayed for more than 40 minutes. This is after polling clerks wrongly sealed ballot boxes forcing them to open the boxes more than twice.

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Woman Representative candidate Ms Janet Ongera who was voting at the station was forced to remain standing while waiting for IEBC polling clerks to sort out the mess. Ms Ongera finally voted a few minutes to 7am.
