KIMANIS: Senior citizens were among the early electorates who arrived at the SK Our Lady Fatima polling centre near here, to cast their ballots in the Kimanis by-election.

Most of them arrived as early as 7am. Some were seen accompanied by their children and younger relatives.

Juanis Puduk, 72, who was the first person to cast his vote at the centre, said he came early with his 69-year-old wife Malina Bantil to avoid the crowd.
