ALLEGATIONS of foul play during polling continue to emerge from the Dei Council electorate in Western Highlands.
In the latest one, candidates have protested the movement of polling teams from two designated areas into one area resulting in some 2,000 voters waiting in vain to vote.
A complaint has been lodged with the returning officer and police that polling designated for Meti  (Ward 10) and Kamund  (Ward 13) were moved forcefully by supporters of one candidate to Kenebo Primary School.
The school has never been the site of any previous polling, a candidate said.
Voters at Meti and Kamund waited for two days in vain and have protested the hijacking of the two polling teams to the two areas.
Similar incidents are being complained of on a daily basis and there is apprehension that this election will result in the biggest number of election disputes.
