Chama Cha Uzalendo secretary general Phillipe Sadja's car has allegedly been torched in Machakos town.
Machakos sub-county police commander Moss Ndiwa said they had received a report on the incident and they were already dealing with it.
"Yes, it's true that the vehicle belonging to Sadja has been torched. We are handling the matter," Ndiwa told the Star by phone on Thursday.
Machakos fire brigade responded to the incident but it was too late. The vehicle had been consumed by the inferno.
The incident happened at his residence in Miwani estate, Machakos town.
It occurred days after Sadja publicly announced that he had decamped from his party's leader and Machakos governor candidate Nzioka Waita's camp and threw his political support behind Wiper's Wavinya Ndeti.
Sadja earlier on Thursday before the incident held a presser to affirm that he was still the party's secretary general.
He trashed claims by certain individuals that he had been suspended from the position by the party's leadership for supporting Ndeti.
