Things have increasingly got thick in Nyanza for ODM party as independent candidates have resorted to chasing away the party's nominated candidates.
According to the Standard, some of the independents have recruited troops on the ground to make vote hunting very hostile for others.
Grapevine has it that one politician who has previously organised national protests against the national government is now tasting a dose of his own medicine and cannot hold a public rally in his home tuft.
Apparently, the independents are the ones calling the shots in the region while those deemed politically correct are having a tough time to mobilise supporters to carry out serious campaigns.
Things have gone to such extreme extents that some politicians are now skipping the traditional vote-hunting sessions such as funerals for the fear of being humiliated.
