United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party presidential aspirant William Ruto has asked his supporters to gather at Jacaranda grounds for a public rally amid clash with police.
UDA party and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino were fighting over the grounds with both parties claiming that they had booked it for rallies today.
In an update on Facebook, the MP shared two letters; one showing UDA booked the grounds on June 19, 2021 and the other one showing he booked the grounds June 19, 2022.

“I have full rights to use this ground today but let my people stay at home coz we love peace,” Babu Owino said in a Facebook post.
