Ouda got to the venue with several supporters demanding to access the main dais.

Chaos erupted as Ouda was denied access to the podium.

Police lobbied teargas to disperse the crowd which was already attacking the lawmaker.

Ouda who is seeking for a second term in office, was ferried from the venue in police vehicle after being rescued from the mob.

Ouda lost to Oron in the ODM party primaries.
