The United Democratic Party has claimed that some of its agents in the ongoing by-election of Rurii Ward in Nyandarua County have been arrested by the police. Veronica added that the party agents have been harassed and intimidated by the police across the ward. “At Mugumoini polling station, UDA agents have been refused entry and strangers purporting to be UDA agents have taken the charge,” Veronica said. Further, the party has asked voters in the ward not to be intimidated and come out in large numbers to vote. The battle is between the ruling party Jubilee being represented by Peter Thinji and UDA allied to the Deputy President William Ruto represented by Francis Muraya.
