Mr Fungaro was arrested on the eve of the election following alleged harassment by security officials.
One of the MP’s supporters was shot dead allegedly by the army.
“Why are the police and the army still following me yet they rigged me out of the race? I fear for my life and the family members and some of my team are not safe either,” Mr Fungaro told Daily Monitor yesterday.
He said the heavy involvement of security personnel and the intimidation they caused discredited the electoral process in the constituency.
