Tension is brewing at the national tallying centre, Bomas of Kenya's main entrance as several leaders get locked out of the venue.
Some of the leaders locked out include; newly elected Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna, Makadara MP-elect George Aladwa, Siaya governor-elect James Orengo, Nderitu Muriithi and others.
The leaders who came with a group of supporters were momentarily barred from accessing the venue, causing the supporters to protest the move.
Chief agent for Raila, Ndiritu Muriithi asked Chebukati to come clean with Kenyans.
"How do you explain me being locked out of Bomas as the chair of the Azimio presidential campaign and as an accredited agent? Chebukati must come clean to Kenyans," he said.
Normally when you are accredited, you are allowed to get to Bomas.
"We are explaining to the officers that what happens to Kenyans is on their hands," he said.
Speaking to the Star on phone, Sifuna said they were blocked from accessing the tallying centre by police officers manning the main entrance of the facility.
"We are here, nobody is telling us why we cannot access the tallying centre despite having the accreditation," Sifuna said on phone.
A contingent of security teams, including riot police, GSU officers and special teams are at the gate to calm the situation.
They were later allowed access but blocked from accessing the auditorium where verification is ongoing.

On Saturday, commissioner Abdi Guliye ordered non-essential people out of the main auditorium where tallying was ongoing, saying only accredited party agents, media, observers and IEBC staff would be allowed at the premises going forward.
It comes amid rising tension at the auditorium over allegations of vote rigging.
