Tetu MP Ndung'u Gethenji's chief campaigner Fianjo Mathenge has been arrested over allegations of planning to rig the Jubilee primaries.
He was arrested by more than 200 Tetu residents and local leaders before handing him over to the police.
Residents stormed the Aberdare Country Club where Mathenge was allegedly meeting 50 presiding officers.
"The presiding officers were seen escaping towards the bush, covering their faces," a witness is quoted by the Star.
The MP is also alleged to have escaped in the melee.
The election list per polling station showed that the MP could have garnered 23,000 more votes in the Friday primaries out of a possible 55,000 registered voters.
