Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o has appealed to Azimio supporters still erecting barricades on the roads in Kisumu city and its environs to disperse and go home.
Nyongo said it will be dangerous for anyone to confront the police after nightfall.
"I am urging everyone who participated in the peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day to go home and leave the police to clear the boulders and tyres from the roads,"he said.
Nyong'o revealed this in a statement to the media by the Governors Press Unit.
He also urged motorists to avoid using Nyamasaria-Kachok-Kondele road and the Jua Kali area near Aga khan hospital this evening.
Residents within the lakeside city are still engaging the police in running battles even as they continue to lob teargas at them.

One person was shot dead and the body is currently at the JOOTRH morgue.
In some instances , when the police were overpowered, they were seen also hurling stones at the protestors.
