The box is believed to be a result of foul play.
Upon tipoff, a convoy headed up to Tapini late Thursday afternoon, says Allan Ravai, a scrutineer of the first runner up, who was among those who retrieved the box and its contents.
Ravai says the convoy consisted of a few media personnel and candidates who contested the Goilala Open Seat.
“The ballot box was there containing 9 unused ballot pads, 16 used ballot pads and some other ballot pads in about 5 envelopes,” he said.
