Attempted Rigging Reported in Kamukunji and Kajiado North Constituencies

Chaos have erupted in Kamkunji constituency after several ballot boxes were delivered into the tallying centre by police officers. Turn-out was very high in Kamkunji and the race appeared to be between ODM and PNU - with the latter heavily tipped to win. The vote tallying has been suspend as the ECK consults on what to do next.

In Kajiado North, former Education Minister George Saitoti has had to run for dear life after voters stoned him and accused him of delivering "sealed empty ballot boxes" with the intention to swing the vote in his favour. Young Maasai moran have been pictured chanting war-cries and vehemently indicating that they will not accept rigged elections results. Saitoti has had to contend with fierce competition from preacher turned politician Moses Ole Sakuda. Vote counting and tallying has been suspended indefinitely.

Meanwhile other significant loses are: Kibwezi's Kalembe Ndile, Cherangany's Kipruto Arap Kirwa and Kikuyu's Paul Muite. A total of 14 cabinet ministers have suffered heavy loses in the election - dealing President Kibaki's re-election a serious dent. Read more here. ODM is commanding a lead in the parliamentary seats race - more than 40 legislators already confirmed as ODM MPs.
