Chaos erupted in Mbeere North after Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku was chased away from a polling station during the ongoing by-elections.
The dramatic confrontation unfolded in front of voters who accused the CS of being present inside the station despite not being authorised to remain there.
A video showed Ruku walking inside the polling station moments before a section of citizens confronted him.
The incident quickly escalated, drawing the attention of dozens of voters who were already on high alert due to the charged atmosphere.
One of the citizens is heard telling the CS that he was not supposed to be inside the station, “You are supposed to be out there, not here.”
Ruku then attempted to push the man outside while holding him by the shoulder, but the individual pushed his hand away, refusing to move.
As the standoff heated up, more citizens joined in, booing and shouting at the CS while asking him to leave the polling station.
The crowd was heard telling him to go away and insisting that the campaign period was already over, shouting, “Go away, the campaign period is over; people are not fools anymore.”
Ruku eventually walked away from the polling station as the situation grew increasingly hostile.
