In Molo, the sitting MP Jacob Macharia lodged a complaint with the Jubilee party tribunal challenging the results after he lost to Mr Kuria. Last week Molo residents held a two day demonstrations after rumours went round that the certificate had been handed to Mr Macharia. They blocked the busy Nakuru Eldoret highway causing a traffic snarl for over four hours forcing police to lobe teargas canisters in order to disperse them. The protests prompted the tribunal to summon Mr Kuria after which it was confirmed that the certificate was yet to be issued. Mr Kuria garnered 13,505 votes against Mr Macharia’s 8,701.
