A man from an unidentified polling station was on Thursday pictured carrying an old voter on his back while queuing up to vote and the photo was widely shared online.
Some media users reported that the photo was taken in Bahati in Nakuru County while contrasting reports indicated that the picture was taken in Tharaka Nithi County.
Either way, the photo brought the much-needed humour amidst all the unrest and chaos in some polling stations.
