Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya narrowly escaped an attack in Chwele Kabuchai Ward on Saturday, November 22, while campaigning for an independent MCA candidate Erick Wekesa ahead of the November 27 Kabuchai Ward by-election.

• Videos showed shattered windows on vehicles, including a police escort, amid reports of gunfire.
• Natembeya's Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) blamed the violence on "goons allegedly linked to National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula," whose Ford Kenya party supports rival candidate Vincent Maunda.
• The IEBC and National Police Service (NPS) were urged to act by DAP-K, as Natembeya and Wetang’ula have a long-standing political rivalry in Western Kenya.

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya's campaign rally in Chwele–Kabuchai Ward was disrupted by tear gas and rowdy youths on Friday, forcing him to cut short his address. Natembeya accused National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula of orchestrating the violence.

• The incident occurred as Natembeya, Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga, and former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati were campaigning for independent aspirant Eric Wekesa.
• Natembeya criticized Wetang’ula, stating, "I have never seen one where marauding youths are armed with jembe sticks."
• Wetang’ula’s Ford-Kenya is fielding Vincent Maunda for the seat, which became vacant after the death of former MCA James Barasa Mukhongo in August 2025.

Former Cabinet Secretary and Chama Cha Kazi (CCK) Party leader, Moses Kuria, has adopted a door-to-door campaign strategy in Mbeere North, mirroring the tactics of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki. This approach involves interacting directly with residents and sharing tea, ahead of the November 27, 2025 by-elections.

• Moses Kuria used this strategy on November 22, 2025, in Ishiara, to campaign for Ireri Mbui of the Chama Cha Kazi Party for the Mbeere North parliamentary seat.
• Rigathi Gachagua has been campaigning for Newton Karish (United Opposition) using morning walks and tea with residents in Mbeere North.
• Kithure Kindiki is similarly campaigning for Leo wa Muthende (UDA) in Mbeere North, also engaging in door-to-door visits and sharing tea.
