Photos: Chaos rock Kariobangi as Jubilee tries to import voters from Central Kenya

Date:


One person from Kiambu was critically injured in Kariobangi North Estate on Monday morning after members of the Kikuyu community clashed with their Luo counterparts over the ongoing voter registration exercise.

Chaos started after supporters of CORD leader, Raila Odinga, claimed that Embakasi North MP, James Gakuya, is ‘importing voters from Central Kenya and registering them secretly at Marurui Primary School and Marvic Hotel.

The supporters said that on Friday last week, Gakuya brought more than 500 youths from Central Kenya that registered as voters.

Kariobangi North is a CORD stronghold but residents fear that the importation of voters from Central Kenya may make the region a Jubilee stronghold.

In 2013, the region voted overwhelming for CORD leader, Raila Odinga
