ODM seemed closer to clinching the Shinyalu Parliamentary seat on Thursday night as vote counting got underway.
Earlier, ODM and Kaddu candidates were locked in a tight race on Thursday night as votes started trickling in after the by-election.
With four stations remaining, ODM’s Justus Kizito was leading with 14,000 votes while Kaddu’s Daniel Khamasi had 4000 votes. PNU’s Patrick Chungani was running a distant third.
In Bomachoge, ODM’s Samuel Ogari took an early lead with 3100 votes over immediate former MP Joel Onyancha of PNU who had 2523votes in 41 stations which had so far concluded the counting exercise.
By-elections in the two constituencies were marked with low voter turnout. It was the first test for the Interim Independent Electoral Commission, formed after the previous commission was dissolved after the 2007 presidential election.
