In one of the bizarre incidents in Kasipul, ODM goons descended on and destroyed a hospital belonging to aspirant Kepha Ogada.
The goons, said to be allied to one of the aspirants, caused panic at the health facility, forcing patients and medics to flee to safety.
The attack paralysed medical services at the facility and left property worth hundreds of thousands destroyed.
The Kasipul ODM primaries lived up to expectations as they were rocked by violence, wanton destruction of property and left several people injured.
The nomination pits Governor Gladys Wanga’s candidate Boyd Were against her deputy Oyugi Magwanga’s candidate, Ogada.
The election, which saw the returning officer changed four times, was marred by delays in the delivery of voting materials, confusion over polling centres and low voter turnout.
The aspirants blamed ODM Election Board chairperson Emily Awita for bungling the exercise and taking sides.
“These elections are compromised, and you can see the board has only appointed election officials allied to one of the aspirants,” they claimed.
The election ends shortly.
