The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) grassroots elections in the Western and Nyanza regions were yesterday marred by violence and confusion, save for a few areas.

The elections, held at the ward level, saw delegates elected from location-level polling stations convene to choose leaders for key positions, including mainstream party roles, the women's and youth league.
