PHOTO;MUNENE KAMAU/STADNARD DATE; APRIL 21/2017Kirinyaga Governor Joseph Ndathi did not vote on Monday after angry voters set ablaze ballot materials at Rukenya Primary School in Gichugu. The voters invaded the polling room and chased away the presiding officers before breaking the ballot boxes and burning the ballot papers. After a delay of 12 hours, voting started at Wanguru Girls Secondary School and Ngurubani Primary School polling centres in Mwea constituency at 6pm after election materials were flown in. But in most of the polling stations, voting kicked of smoothly, with some stations opening as early as 6am. The two said it was easier to repeat the ward nominations on a separate day instead of holding the entire county at ransom.
