Chancellor Ipar Odeo has said the university senate made the decision based on a report on the process leading up to the elections set for Friday.

"After considering the disruption of lectures by groups of campaigning students, the senate has resolved to suspend all academic programmes until further notice," Odeo said.

He ordered the institution's closure in a letter that followed a special meeting of the university's senate on Monday, requesting that students were asked to leave the university.
 
The students demonstrated on Tuesday evening, claiming the university's management was harassing them and interfering with the elections by endorsing a chairman candidate.

They said a student named Tony Barasa was endorsed unanimously leading to riots by his rival's supporters.
