Earlier on, some supporters of the National Super Alliance (NASA) heeded their leaders’ call to stage street demos to push for reforms at the electoral commission.
The Opposition wants systems and personnel changes implemented at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ahead of repeat presidential election slated for October 26.
They include removal of more than 10 senior officials accused of bungling August 8 General Election, a proposal the ruling Jubilee Party has opposed.
In Siaya County, a man died of shock during the anti-IEBC demonstrations after police fired tear gas to disperse protesting youth.
The deceased is said to have been caught up in the chaos while returning home from Siaya Referal Hospital.
