In Taita-Taveta, Mr Mwadeghu said he would boycott repeat polls which the NEB ordered on Sunday in Jipe, Chala, Mahandakini and St Joseph Kivukoni primary schools. Mr Mwadeghu said it was unfair for the party to set a repeat date without investigating the incidents. “If the party wants to favour the governor, then let it go ahead,” said Mr Mwadeghu. Mr Mwadeghu was accompanied by Voi MP Jones Mlolwa, Voi Constituency ODM chairman John Maghanga and three MCAs. Provisional results announced in Mwatate showed Mr Mwadeghu leading with 17,557 votes against Governor Mruttu’s 14,817.
