The United Democratic Alliance (UDA), led by Deputy President William Ruto, has issued a statement in response to an incident in which nomination ballots were confiscated and burned by angry youths in Embu County.
In Embu town, near a popular hotel, a lorry transporting election materials was ransacked on Wednesday, April 13 and the ballot boxes and papers were burned. Some candidates claimed that a senior politician in the region was planning to rig the primaries in favour of her allies.

The incident has been discussed by the party leadership with Hon Norman Nyagah, Hon Cicily Mbarire, and Hon John Muchiri "part of the statement that has been stated.
