Bomet County Woman Representative Linet Toto was caught up in chaos after supremacy battles turned ugly during a United Democratic Alliance event in Bomet county.
The chaos were caused by political realignments in the region with different politicians keen on being kingpins of their respective regions.
Trouble started after rival camps allied to Senator Wakili Sigei and those allied to Governor Hillary Barchok clashed shortly after National Assembly Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro took to the podium.
Osoro cautioned politicians against the realignments noting that it is not the right direction to take even as influential politicians position themselves as regional kingpins.
