A rowdy mob pelted supporters of "No" side at a rally in Busia town last night.
The group, led by Higher Education Minister William Ruto, landed in Busia at about 6.30pm for the rally.
Police were forced to fire in the air to disperse the youth who had stormed the rally.
Unconfirmed reports indicated that three people were arrested following the incidence.
The rally, which was held at Busia Polytechnic grounds, ended at about 7pm. Speakers at the meeting included Ruto and MPs Chris Okemo, Cyrus Jirongo, Fred Kapondi and Jebii Kilimo. Okemo, who is the area MP, condemned the incidence and said all Kenyans had the right to campaign anywhere.
"I suspect the youth were paid to disrupt our rally," he added.
The incident came a day after Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka was heckled in Kathiani.
