Violence and threats to electoral commission officials were the main reason why there was no repeat election in 25 constituencies on October 26.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has secured 25 affidavits sworn by the returning officers of the affected areas in Nyanza region, detailing why it was impossible for them to supply election materials and for voters to exercise their democratic right.
