The bitter political rivalry between Deputy President William Ruto and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi reared its ugly head when United Democratic Alliance (UDA) officials were Thursday denied access to Kabarak University where they were to conduct party nominations.

Interestingly, Kabarak University is a registered as polling station number 173 by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and it is where the late former president Daniel arap Moi used to vote in past general elections after he retired.
