Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has exposed an alleged vote-rigging scheme in the upcoming November 27 Mbeere North by-election, claiming youths are being paid for their IDs to prevent them from voting.

• Gachagua stated that political figures are offering up to Ksh5,000 to youths for their IDs.
• He accused some senior leaders from President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance Party of orchestrating this strategy.
• Other key figures campaigning in Mbeere North include Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria, who also warned against electoral malpractice.

Moses Kuria, the leader of the Chama Cha Kazi Party, has warned the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) about rising insecurity during campaigns for upcoming by-elections. He emphasized that unchecked chaos could damage Kenya's international reputation and stressed the need for reinforced security measures.

• Kuria held a press briefing on Saturday, November 22, to address the escalating tensions.
• He referenced the 2007 post-election violence, stating, "I was here in 2007, and I saw what Kenya went through, and I can't keep quiet because my heart has no peace."
• The warning follows an attack on Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya in Chwele Kabuchai Ward on November 22 by alleged goons linked to National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
• Kuria, alongside former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, is campaigning in Mbeere North for the by-election on November 27.
