Watu kadhaa wamejeruhiwa katika vurugu zilizotokea ktk mkutani wa Chama cha ODM mjini Migori. Hii ilikuwa ni baada ya kambi za kisiasa kugombana na wafuasi wa mmoja wao kurusha risasi hewani ili kutawanya watu.
Bodigadi mmoja wa Gavana Ali Joho wa Mombasa alipigwa risasi ktk vurugu hiyo. Joho hadi sasa anadai kuwa huo ulikuwa ni mpango wa kutaka kumuua.
Imegundulika kuwa aliyefyatua risasi ni mmoja wa wafuasi wa Okoth Obado, Gavana wa Migori ambaye hakutaka mkutano huo ufanyike mjini kwake. Alivamia mkutano huo na watu kuanza kumrushia chupa huku wakizomea kitendo kilichopelekea walinzi wake kufyatua risasi.
Mbunge wa Mvita, Abdulswamad Nassir amesema kuwa anaamini kuwa lilikuwa jaribio la kumuua Joho kwani gari alilokuwemo lilipigwa risasi mara tatu.

Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho's bodyguard was shot and injured by one attached to Migori's Okoth Obado during a chaotic ODM rally on Monday, an MP has said.
Obado made good his threat to prevent ODM from holding a rally in Migori town.
The rally at Posta grounds was completely disrupted when he arrived unannounced as Kisumu Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o addressed the crowd.
Immediately after seeing him, the crowd booed and threw water bottles, stones and shoes at the podium.
This forced Obado's guards to fire in the air. A bullet went through a VIP seat in an area where dignitaries were seated.
The seat had blood stains but it was not clear which official was shot.
Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir told the Star: "This was an assassination attempt. They were after Joho. Our car was shot at three times."
Police were not immediately available for comment.
Joho's rallies have either been cancelled or ended in chaos. Police have given reasons including lack of approval and their inability to provide security.
The Governor was in the county to officially launch ODM office with fellow ODM deputy leader Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega).
A group earlier demonstrated against Obado after ODM organisers were locked out of Migori county.
