A witness in a poll petition against Nyando MP Fred Outa yesterday claimed two dead people took part in the March 4 polls.
John Amollo told Justice Aggrey Muchelule that people who died long ago had their names crossed out as having voted.
Amollo presented burial permits of two of his relatives—Stephen Onyango and Emily Nyakongo— saying their names were crossed out by polling clerks as having voted at Kobura polling station in Nyando.
He said other dead people and some who were bedridden during the elections “voted”. Amollo said he was allowed to vote yet his name had been crossed out in the IEBC register.
He was giving evidence in a petition filed by Jared Okello who lost the Nyando parliamentary race. Okello wants the court to order a scrutiny of the votes cast.
