The mini poll for Kitui West constituency kicked off to a low turnout Monday morning with one of the main competitors alleging a plot by the Wiper party to rig him out.

Five candidates among them Edith Nyenze, widow of the late MP Francis Nyenze who is running on a Wiper ticket are battling for the seat following the death of Nyenze in December last year.
