Tensions flared in Ol Kalou ahead of a July 16 by-election as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen traded accusations over reported chaos and gunshots.

• Gachagua accused security officers and the CS of dispatching a "killer squad" to disrupt his party's, Democracy for the Citizens (DCP), campaign activities, alleging assaults and arrests of his supporters.
• Murkomen dismissed the claims as "juvenile attempts at reverse psychology" and warned against inciting violence, stating, "Try violence in Ol Kalou, and you will see."
• Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi disputed Gachagua's account, accusing allies of the former DP of attacking women leaders.
• The full circumstances of the reported unrest remain unverified, with no official police statement confirming events.
