Police deployed to prevent Azimio & Kenya Kwanza supporters clash in Jacaranda Grounds, Nairobi

There was a standoff at the Jacaranda Grounds in Embakasi after the venue was booked for a meeting by two political groups. The grounds which was planned to host Kenya Kwanza rally, led by presidential candidate William Ruto was booked by Embakasi East legislator Babu Owino. A heavy contingent of police was deployed to cordon off the venue for the better part of the morning to avert a possible clash between the groups. Police were however withdrawn after Babu cancelled his meeting, to allow Kenya Kwanza to proceed with its planned meeting.

Babu owino has always been uncouth, irresponsible leader. He should be called to order

[paulndungu]

Kenyans why are you fighting for? These politician you will not see them after election. So, don't fight your brother for nothing!!!

[peterogana]

When there are no rallies, these people are living in peace. Kenyans your brother is that neighbour you're fighting. Let's embrace peace for the maintainance of the fabric of this beautiful nation. God help us with understanding.

The choice of blue uniforms for police officers was not by mistake. You can easily see its importance from this clip. The blue uniforms make police officers stand out from the rest of the crowd.

That's the work of Babu Owino. Alipiga DJ risasi na hajatosheka he wants to see more blood shedding.

[sammynjenga]

[sospeterogolla]

Peace peace peace I so this last 2013 in the same ground why brothers and sisters? What r we fighting for?

[nellynyakaro]

Kudos to men in blue. Gear intervention.

[alicewanjiku]

[IamWhoYouSayIam]

Shouldn’t the person who double booked this venue be held accountable?

[chaironkangi]

Means Embakasi under ababu is a no go zone but it's not good at all, let people have freedom, sio poa,

[winniembiyu]

Huyu babu owino kwani yeye ni Kenyans need peace

[lizjoseph]

thank you our police for stable rising the situation 💪🙏

[selectorjevado]

How comes 2 politicians booked the grounds on same date

[edwinngetich]

This is the ODM and bwana kitendawili signature of politics, it is barbaric and primitive

[agalgallowario]

Babu owino and his team should be dealt with accordingly, Owino his behind all these madness, organizing hooligans and thugs. It is time Kenyans should send such leaders home very early in the morning come august.

[meggiem]

This is quite unfortunate why would Babu Owino book the venue after Kenya Kwanza had booked it earlier . This just calls for common sense for crying out Loud!!!!

[Titusjumah]

Azimio wanapenda fujoo...tunawajua... we condemn this action 😭

[full_ArmourOfGod]

If someone books a venue on the 15th and the other on the 16th surely it’s not rocket science. But there is a side we all know it is impossible to reason with.

[theb.oonyambu]

This is a shame!! A behavior so gross and backward. But do we learn?!
