Here are the candidates who opted to queue
Nairobi aspiring senator Johnson Sakaja seems to have redistributed his humility to queue after he did so during the party nominations.
Different candidates on Tuesday queued up with other Kenyans awaiting their turn to vote at different polling stations.
Their spouses too chose to wait on the line as opposed to being accorded VIP treatment at the polling stations.
First Lady Margaret Kenyatta was early morning pictured at St Mary’s in Lavington waiting in line to vote before leaving for Gatundu to accompany President Uhuru Kenyatta to his polling station at Mutomo Primary School.
