Jeshi la polisi limewakamata wasimamizi wa Uchaguzi kutoka jimbo la Kisauni, Kaunti ya Mombasa baada ya kukataa kuhesabu kura
Waliwekwa chini ya ulinzi kwa kuhujumu mchakato wa kuhesabu kura baada ya kubaini mgombea (hajatajwa) amepata kura nyingi zaidi
Msimamizi wa Uchaguzi Ibrahim Wario aliripoti Kituo cha Polisi Nyali kuwa watuhumiwa walikataa kuhesabu karatasi hata baada ya kuombwa na mawakala na Msimamizi.

A Presiding Officer and a deputy were arrested in Kisauni Constituency, Mombasa County, for refusing to count votes.
According to reports by police, the duo was put in custody for sabotaging the vote counting process after learning that a certain candidate had garnered more votes in the elections.
Kisauni Constituency Returning Officer, Ibrahim Wario, reported at Nyali Police Station that the suspects refused to count the ballot papers at the polling station even after being implored by the agents and the Returning Officer.
Nyali Police Commander, Daniel Masamba, confirmed that the two would be charged with willfully rejecting or refusing to count ballot papers, an offence under the election Act 2016.
"The suspects are already in police custody awaiting to be arraigned in court to face relevant charges," Masamba stated.
“They will be charged with willfully rejecting or refusing to count any ballot paper which they knew or had reasonable cause to believe such a person was entitled to vote which is an offence under the election Act of 2016,” a police report reads.
During this election period, IEBC agents have been put on the spot for misconduct.
Last week, four IEBC officials, who were arrested after attending a meeting held by a parliamentary aspirant, were fired by the commission on Monday, August 8.
