Kericho Jubilee politicians say election a 'mockery of democracy'

                               

Jubilee Party's Kericho elections nearly aborted after some aspirants and their supporters attempted to rough up Kipkelion East MP Joseph Limo.

Hecklers disrupted the process several times, accusing Limo of trying to help his cronies to land nominations, but heavily armed police officers intervened.

The closed-door election was held on consensus basis at the constituency's Tea Research Institute on Wednesday.

Limo's efforts to give the people an explanation were drowned by shouting residents who branded him a traitor.

But he later told the press that the election was credible and that losers were expected to raise unjustified complaints.

“We have to understand that in any election there must be winners and losers. We should not behave like the opposition, who after losing in any election, start blocking roads and throwing stones to expressed their dissatisfaction," he said.
