My rivals tried to intimidate me, Anne Waiguru claims

Waiguru also claimed that goons had been sent to harm her.

"When we were coming in they were blocking the road and wanted to hit my car. It is not acceptable, it is very primitive...They were going to harm me, it is unfortunate that they used goons to intimidate candidates and supporters," she alleged.

The Standard, could not independently verify her claims.

Earlier, Kirinyaga governor candidate Ngirici demanded the re-tallying of votes at the Gichugu Constituency Tallying center. She argued there were anomalies that could only be cleared by a re-tally.

The Gichugu returning officers agreed to a re-tally of the governorship votes, where Waiguru led in that specific constituency after garnering 36,675 votes while Ngirici got 21,285 votes.
