Emurua Dikirr constituency DCP chief agent Leonard Kirui has alleged that security agencies repulsed groups of youths who were attempting to prevent their supporters from voting in some parts of the constituency.
He made the remarks shortly after casting his vote at Ilkerin polling station, where he addressed the media on the ongoing electoral process.
Kirui noted that reports circulating on social media from some supporters claimed that their colleagues had been attacked by unknown youths during the voting exercise.
However, no police report has been provided by press time to support the claims made by Kirui.
He further said that voter turnout has so far been encouraging across several polling stations.
At the same time, he urged residents to maintain peace and unity, calling on voters to elect leaders who are development-orientated and focused on delivering tangible progress in the constituency.
