IEBC: Only 12 million registered voters had voted by 4 pm

The commission however reiterated that the by-elections will not affect the timeline set for announcing the president-elect.

Moreover, IEBC has scheduled voting in Eldas constituency for tomorrow at 6.00 am. The commission suspended the voting exercise in the area after a shooting incident on the eve of election day.

Last night, the Chebukati-led commission encountered challenges that forced it to suspend elections for four elective positions in certain counties.

The ballot papers for Kakamega and Mombasa counties' governor candidates as well as those for Kacheliba and Pokot South parliamentary seats had incorrect names and images of aspirants, forcing the electoral body to suspend elections in the affected areas at the last minute.
