The DCI has dismissed claims that Gichugu returning officer Geoffrey Gitobu may have been murdered.
Laikipia County DCI boss Onesmus Towett said the poll officer's demise is at this point considered sudden death.
"We have received a report that an IEBC officer was murdered or killed in Nanyuki. That is not the position.
Somebody collapsed in town, he was rushed to hospital and at the hospital, he was confirmed that he was dead," Towett said in an interview with Citizen.
"So, no person has killed another one and no person has been brought here for killing another one," he added.
Gitobu died mysteriously on Monday after collapsing while at the IEBC Nanyuki office.
The death of the 57-year-old officer sparked rumours online that he may have been silenced in relation to elections.
Towett said a postmortem exercise will be conducted on Wednesday to ascertain the cause of death.
"We are investigating the cause of that death. We have opened an inquiry, the postmortem will be done tomorrow at 9 am. For now, it's sudden death and we take it like that as sudden death," Towett said.
On August 11, a returning officer in Embakasi East went missing before his body was found in Oloitoktok five days later.
Daniel Musyoka's family later linked his murder to elections saying his killers may have eliminated him after he refused to take a bribe to tilt the outcome of an election.
