Kenyans will be voting on Tuesday from 6:00 am - 5:00 Pm as per the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
IEBC has also suspended Gubernatorial elections in Mombasa and Kakamega Counties.
"The elections for the Gubernatorial elective position in Kakamega and Mombasa Counties; and for the Member of National Assembly for Kacheliba and Pokot South Constituencies, are postponed to a later date to be announced through a gazette notice.
"The Commission submitted correct ballot proofs and packing list to the printer on time as required. The printer has since agreed to a quick reprint of the affected ballot papers," IEBC said while explaining the cancelation.
In the past two elections, the counties have overwhelmingly voted for Azimo presidential candidate Odinga.
