KIRINYAGA, Kenya, Aug 11 – Supporters of Governor Ann Waiguru and Kirinyanga Woman representative Wangui Ngirici have clashed and disrupted tallying at a tallying center in Gichugu constituency, over vote-rigging allegations.
The commotion began after election materials were allegedly discovered in a county government vehicle that was packed near a tallying center.
Ngirici accompanied by lawyer Ndegwa Njiru had earlier on demanded for the re tallying of votes at a tallying centre in Kianyaga Boys high school.
