The aspirants claimed that about 4,000 ballot papers allocated to the polling centre were missing. “This polling centre was supposed to have 12,000 ballot papers but now there are only 8,000,” said aspirant Peter Atara. The aspirants now fear that the ballot papers will be marked secretly in favour of one of them. “The ballot papers in question were taken to Imaroro Ward, which had insufficient ballot papers,” said Mr Matuiya. “Claims of rigging are unfounded.”But Mr Atara disputed the explanation, saying ODM headquarters should have supplied sufficient ballot papers for each polling centre.
