Monday will witness the recounting of votes in four polling stations in Marakwet East constituency after the High Court ordered for the same in a petition challenging the victory of MP Kangogo Bowen.
The recount of votes will take place at Cheptany Primary, Kumbulul Primary, Mungwa Dispensary, and Mungwa Primary School.
The petition challenging Bowen's win was filed by a voter Sammy Kipkeu on September 6.
Kipkeu wanted a recount in all 142 polling stations but the court granted him only four polling stations.
He argued that the scrutiny of all polling station will determine whether Bowen, who is the third respondent in the case won fairly in the August contest.
Bowen was declared the winner of the August 8 election after defeating former MP Linah Kilimo by 967 votes.
