A key witness in a petition challenging the election of Yatta MP Charles Kilonzo has told a Machakos Court that poll results were altered by a returning officer.

Samuel Mulei, who was a polling agent of Chama Cha Uzalendo party (CCU) on whose ticket the petitioner, former MP Francis Mwangangi, vied claimed Yatta RO made alterations to forms 35 A and 35 B and also denied party agents the opportunity to sign the forms.

But lawyer Bernard Mung’ata, appearing for Kilonzo poked holes in the witness' submissions, saying his letter of appointment by CCU dictated that he was an ordinary polling agent and not the chief agent.
