Parties Condemn Gachagua's By-Election Rigging Claims; Narok Rally Disrupted - November 2025

Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua demanded the resignation of Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja following violent clashes in Narok on Monday. A subsequent campaign rally led by Gachagua in Narok was disrupted by police who fired teargas. Gachagua also accused IEBC Vice Chairperson Fahima Araphat Abdallah of misconduct and planning to rig the Magarini by-election. The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) condemned the accusations as a "political tantrum," while the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) threatened legal action. IEBC Chairman Erastus Ethekon defended his deputy against Gachagua's allegations.
