However, Raymond raised an issue of vote alleged voter bribery and was not present at the Nakuru Teachers Training College tallying centre.

Earlier in the day, Nakuru East MP-elect David Gikaria narrowly escaped the wrath of irate voters at Kiamunyi Secondary School polling centre after a section of the voters accused him of interfering with the voting process.

The police had to intervene and rescue Gikaria before a boda boda operator took him away on his motorbike.
