Security has been beefed up in Emurua Dikirr constituency as residents go to the polls this morning to elect their next Member of Parliament in a by-election.
The seat fell vacant following the death of Johana Ngeno, who died in a helicopter crash on February 28.
A contingent of security officers drawn from various formations has been deployed in the constituency.
Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Abdi Hassan held a security meeting that was attended by senior security officers and warned against any acts of unlawfulness during the exercise.
