Tetu MP Ndung'u Gethenji's chief campaigner Fianjo Mathenge was arrested on Tuesday over a suspected plot to rig the Jubilee Party nominations. Mathenge was arrested by more than 200 Tetu residents and local leaders who handed him over to the police. The angry residents stormed the Aberdare Country Club in Nyeri on Tuesday night where Mathenge was allegedly meeting 50 presiding officers. The residents led by Jubilee aspirants Gichuhi Mwangi, Peter Kamuthu and Martin Githigaro stormed the hotel in a convoy of over 10 vehicles. The incident came just a few hours after the Jubilee National Elections Board held a meeting with the aspirants in Nyeri town.
