A Presiding Officer in Bomet County has been arrested after allegedly being found with pre-marked ballot papers.
According to sources, the presiding officer at Matarmat polling station was arrested early Monday morning with pre-marked papers that were to be used on the aborted exercise on Friday.
Agents at the polling station raised alarm after they found the pre-marked ballot papers while inspecting voting materials before opening the voting exercise.
The hawk-eyed agents disclosed that some of the papers had been randomly marked selecting several gubernatorial and Member of County Assembly aspirants.
The source, however, noted that the ballot papers to be used by the Jubilee Party for Monday's repeat exercise had been printed in a different color from the one that was to be used last Friday.
The police arrested the official over claims of having the intention of stuffing the marked papers in the ballot boxes.
The papers were confiscated by the police in the ongoing Jubilee primaries and residents resumed casting their ballot.
Elsewhere in Migori, a man is in police custody after being nabbed with hundreds of fake Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ballot papers.
