The claims have elicited mixed reactions from netizens with a section claiming she is seeking political sympathy while others castigated the goons for the attacks.
Here are some reactions from Twitter:
Women hutaka positions of leadership with the phrase "Women empowerment" but wakiipata hakuna kitu wanafanya. Naona Passaris anaulizwa track record yake anaanza kusema ye ni mama. So what?

Asking Passaris to show you her development record is the same as asking your senator to show you a road he/she has built. There's need for civic education in Kenya , on this ,the @IEBCKenya has totally failed.
