Still in Kirinyaga, Waiguru and area Woman Rep Wangui Ngirici clashed outside the church where the DP is expected to join worshippers.

The duo are eyeing the governor’s seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party hence the tension.

Ngirici has accused the UDA party of sidelining her while supporting her rival who joined the party in October.

Tensions were also high in the area after individuals believed to be Ngirici’s supporters set ablaze Waiguru’s campaign jackets.
