Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta, has blamed huge voter turnout for the chaos that erupted at his party’s primaries on Friday.
In many areas across the country, there were delays, with some skirmishes also reported as contestants accused their opponents of rigging. The poll was later cancelled.
Meanwhile, Mr Kenyatta also admitted to reporters that not enough election materials had been provided.
The primaries are in preparation for August’s national poll. The election will take place nearly a decade after disputed election results fuelled violence that left more than 1,000 dead and 500,000 displaced.
