Obstacle for electoral body

Nairobi, Kenya: The printing of ballot papers risks being delayed after a man moved to court to have ballot papers for presidential candidates include photographs and symbol of their running mates.

Nicholas Kyunuve says as a member of Wiper Democratic Movement, he wants to see the picture and symbol of their party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

He wants Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) prohibited from printing or processing the printing of ballot papers for presidential aspirants pending the hearing and determination of the petition.
