Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa spent a night in police cell pending the court's ruling on bail on Thursday.
The lawmaker was arrested on in the wee hours of Wednesday morning following chaos at the homestead of Ganda Ward ODM Party candidate Reuben Katana.
The incident led to the death of Katana’s uncle Ngumbao Jola.
The legislator, who has denied any wrongdoing, was arrested alongside four others over the incident.
Preliminary reports indicate that the lawmaker stormed the home of the aspirant with her supporters.
In records at the Malindi Police Station, Jumwa was accompanied by a convoy of three vehicles carrying the supporters and aides.
Jumwa faulted the aspirant and ODM brigade of holding a meeting at night after the expiry of the deadline set by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Katana’s team claims that the meeting was organized to ensure the votes are secured.
“Aisha stormed in with her goons. They wanted to disrupt the meeting which was very peaceful and it was almost coming to an end. They became chaotic in front of the police officers who did not do anything to stop them. They just watched as Aisha abused everyone, wanting to fight everyone until Jola was shot,” one of Katana's staunch supporters told Standard.
Jumwa was arrested after dodging the police for hours. She denied them access into her home before they forced their entry.
