Voting is ongoing smoothly in various parts of Uasin Gishu County.
A majority of polling stations opened at 6 am as earlier expected and voters started streaming in.
In the polling stations that uasingishunews.co.ke visited, there were long queues of voters eager to cast their votes and decide on who their leaders will be.
At Border Farm Primary School, one of the polling stations in Kapsoya Ward, Ainabkoi Sub County, voting was ongoing smoothly.
“Everything is going on smoothly, the station opened earlier and there has been no challenge so far, maybe only the fact that it can take some time before a voter knows which stream his/her name is in,” said a party agent.
