A security guard attached to Mbita MP Millie Odhiambo was killed following violence during ODM nominations in Homa Bay county on Monday.
Kennedy Okore sustained serious injuries after he was run over by a vehicle during the fracas at Urianda Primary School, Lambwe ward.
The 37-year-old succumbed to injuries at Ongogo subcounty hospital in Mbita.
Chaos erupted after the MP’s supporters clashed with those of her opponent James Akali.
Millia said the group became violent when they realised that her supporters were being blocked from the polling station.
“I got several phone calls that my supporters were being deterred from entering the polling station. I rushed to check but when I reached the armed goons confronted and began hurling stones on us,” Millie said.

These confrontations will not cease any time soon. There are candidates guaranteed victory because they paid the most, and there are those that came short money-wise but were not told so. There are no refunds. Ask Elizabeth Ongoro.[/SIZE]
