Voting at Mubukuro Primary School polling centre in Chuka Igambang'ombe Constituency in Tharaka Nithi County started at 4:20pm due to missing Senate ballot papers.

Angry voters paralysed voting in the whole polling centre, insisting that it would only resume once the missing papers are available.
Tharaka Nithi County Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Returning Officer Mohammed Raka said there was a mix-up in the papers during packaging.
