Political temperatures continued to rise after the ruling Jubilee Party alleged that threats by the National Super Alliance (NASA) to boycott the August 8 polls could end up triggering electoral violence.
A number of Jubilee leaders alleged that the Opposition's warning that it would not take part in the elections if the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court decision that final presidential results should be announced at the constituency level was part of a plan to set the country on the path to anarchy.
