“Mp candidate Nyatike constituency Edick Anyanga Omondi and his personnel started threatening Justus Ochieng while inside the vehicle claiming that he has been going against his political ambitions and in the process Omondi discharged his firearm shooting Justus on his right side of the hips and sustained injuries,” the police statement reads in part.
Mr Ochieng is currently receiving treatment at Sori Lakeside with his situation needing serious attention.
Notably, Mr Omondi is seeking to be Nyatike MP on UPIA party ticket after having lost ODM nominations to Tom Odege.
The incident comes just two weeks before the General elections.
