Chaos in Nakuru after pro-Jubilee youth block Raila from leaving hotel

A standoff ensued in Nakuru after pro-Jubilee youth, carrying placards and chanting anti-opposition slogans blocked the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leader Raila Odinga from leaving a hotel room where he was meeting his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders from the area.

Raila, who is a tour of the vote-rich county, was meeting his party leaders from the area before proceeding for rallies in different parts of the county.

The move by the pro-Jubilee youth sparked off confrontations with their CORD counterparts and the two groups pelting stones at each other before police intervened.
