Transport along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway was paralysed for over three hours after supporters of Gilgil MP Mathenge Ndiritu blocked it over the outcome of the recent Jubilee primaries.

They accused Jubilee of imposing a leader on them after Ndiritu's rival, Martha Wangari, was declared the winner.
