Provisional governor’s ticket winner Thomas Mwadeghu yesterday opposed ODM’s decision to call a vote in five Taveta polling stations where voting did not take place. Provisional results showed Mwadeghu garnered 17,567 votes against Mruttu’s 14,817 to clinch the ticket. Mwadeghu wants Mruttu barred from contesting, saying he incited his supporters to cause havoc. The five polling stations are Jipe Primary School, Chala Primary, Mahandakini Primary, St Joseph Kivuko Primary and Chala Njukini Primary. During the announcement of the results, Mruttu was absent.
