Tension between their supporters have built up; sharp division among the constituency executives with some openly showing support for their preferred candidate, a development that has also heightened tension.
A fisticuff between supporters of the opposing sides drew a swift police attention but, situation almost got out of control.
“don’t let us fire” a visibly angry police officer is heard saying to one of the irate supporters.
The news team had to be escorted from the scene as tension boils “please move into our car we need to move you out to safety please” one police officer urged.
“Bro you cannot run your report from here; it is not safe please leave!” One of the supporters also cautioned the news team.
A police reinforcement team managed to douse the tension.
