Former footballer McDonald Mariga's political debut suffered a setback after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission IEBC disqualified him from the Kibra by-election because his details were not in the voter's register. 

"I have verified and checked and I could not find his details. At this point, my hands are tied. We have invalidated Mariga's nomination," IEBC Kibra Returning Officer Beatrice Muli said.
