A section of Bungoma residents are living in fear as their houses have been marked with red paint amid rising tension over Thursday's repeat presidential election.
Among those affected are people in the major towns of Bungoma, Webuye, Chwele and Kimilili.
NASA leaders led by Raila Odinga had asked their supporters to keep off polling stations as IEBC has not implemented their irreducible minimums. Residents and business people want police to increase patrols, a call that was also made after leaflets with threats were circulated.
Protests erupted in the county on Friday after an address by Senator and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang'ula who is an Opposition principal. Residents said they don't want a repeat of the 2007/8 ppost-electionviolence during which at least 1,300 people died and more than 600,000 were internally displaced.
