Nairobi Women Rep Rachel Shebesh on Thursday stormed the Nyayo Stadium Jubilee tallying centre demanding answers over an alleged scheme to rig her out of the city's Jubilee primaries.
Shebesh claimed the Embakasi North returning officer had cancelled her votes in favour of her fierce rival Millicent Omanga.
She indirectly threatened violence, vowing to do all it would take to ensure she is heard or someone gets arrested.
"I have evidence that the returning officer cancelled votes in favour of Omanga, but I will not leave here unless this is corrected. Otherwise one of us will go to jail," she said.
"The returning officer has worked with Omanga, but they should know I am the only elected woman representative in Nairobi county," she added.
Shebesh alleged that figures provided had been "cooked" in Embakasi North, Roysambu, and Ruaraka constituencies in favour of Omanga.
"We will not let you guys announce results that are cooked while other places like Roysambu, votes were stuffed in ballot boxes," she said.
She was later escorted by police to the Nyayo Stadium OCS office.
As at now, Shebesh has garnered 33,658 votes ahead of Omanga who has 18,074 votes.
