Claims of voter bribery and suppression marred the Magarini by-election on Thursday, as rivals allied to the broad-based government and United Opposition exchanged accusations.

Low voter turnout was reported in all 193 polling stations across the six wards in the constituency with 80,128 votes. ODM's perceived strongholds were worst affected.
