    With some parties extending their nominations into today, so far voters have been angered by what seems to be disorganized nomination process amongst the parties.

    The violence part is mild though, with most people causing chaos because of these delays. However, one policeman was shot in the leg, as policemen tried to calm the anxiety that was growing. In Kisumu, curde weapons were found in a PSV Vehicle.
