Violent outbreaks in party polls worrying

As expected, the picking of Jubilee Party officials across the country were stormy with violent confrontation reported in many centres.

In Nakuru, Eldoret, at the Coast, Kiambu, Murang’a, Embu, Kirinyaga and other areas where the exercise started on Tuesday, the elections either did not take off or turned chaotic as those involved could not agree on the method to use to pick the officials. In some places, the police had to use tear gas to disperse rioters. For what it offers, politics is getting highly competitive.
