Voting in the Matungu parliamentary by-election kicked off smoothly this morning amidst low voter turnout.
Voters who turned out early morning said the exercise was smooth, applauding the punctuality of the entire process.
Strict health guidelines were also adhered to as no one was allowed in without a mask.
Some of the voters, however, faced some challenges during the identification process as their fingerprints could not be detected by the Integrated Election Management System (KIEMS).

Residents of Matungu and Kabuchai constituencies go to the polls to elect new MPs this morning amid claims of a plot to rig the election.
Yesterday, ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi claimed some Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officials met ODM leaders to strategise on how to influence the outcome of the by-election in Matungu.
On Tuesday, Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala made similar claims.
