UDA deputy presidential candidate Rigathi Gachagua on Tuesday said voter turnout in most parts of the country was impressive.
Gachagua, who spoke to the media after casting his vote at Sagana Primary School in Mathira, said Kenyans started queueing as early as 3am.
"The voting is seamless and in instances where voters cannot be identified biometrically, like in the case of my 91-year-old aunt, the process that they have undertaken is fruitful," he said.
Gachagua arrived at exactly 7am with his wife Dorcas Rigathi and his elderly aunt Gladys Gathoni whom he assisted to vote.
The polling station had three streams and 2,034 registered voters.
Gachagua, who cast his vote at around 7.40am, was also accompanied by Mukurwe-ini MP candidate on UDA ticket John Kaguchia.
He said he was very impressed by the level of preparedness by the IEBC.
Gachagua said the process makes it impossible to introduce dead voters or stuff ballots.
He urged Kenyans to keep peace after voting.
Kenyans must take part in defining their destiny by voting, Gachagua said.
He said many had vowed not to vote because of economic hardship, but they had a change of heart and people were coming out to vote.
"I want to ask our people, including those disappointed by the 2017 election, that they still have another chance to elect another government and give it a chance," Gachagua said.
He said no voter bribery cases had been reported.
