There is heightened security presence in the Asawase constituency as a result of misunderstandings between some delegates, party executives, and security authorities at the center.
According to reports, some delegates present at the voting centre were prevented from sitting on the chairs at the centre.
The massing of some delegates at the centre which has resulted in a charged atmosphere, is due to the alleged camping of most of the delegates by the incumbent Muntaka Mubarak.
The Director of Research of the party in the constituency added that some unknown men have invaded the voting centre.
These and other factors are the reason for the beefed-up security in the area.
TV3 reports that there are over 100 police and security officials at the centre to ensure that the situation does not escalate.
