The announcement by the Orange party comes after 12 people were on Monday arrested in Migori County during the party’s nominations.

The 12 were said to be in possession of crude weapons and they were suspected of hatching a plan to disrupt the exercise.

According to Suna East police boss Esau Ochorokodi, the 12 were apprehended by police as five sharp pangas, two rungus and booklets of an ODM aspirant were retrieved.
