The voting exercise for the Malava by-election kicked off smoothly with low voter turnout, fear amid claims of bloodshed, violence, and vandalism of properties that marred the eve of the mini-poll.

By the time the IEBC opened the 198 polling stations for locals to vote, there were no cases of technical hitches.
