Voters in Nakuru’s London, Hell’s Gate wards and those in Huruma ward in Uasin Gishu go to the polls today to elect their representatives amid security concerns.
The government has pledged to beef up security in London and Hell’s Gate wards in Nakuru County, where there were concerns over threats of violence, between members of rival political parties fronting candidates in today’s by-election.
Yesterday, Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya dispelled fears that violence was being planned on voting day, saying enough security personnel have been deployed in the three wards.
