Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to defend himself and his supporters against alleged goon attacks disrupting his political rallies, stating they will retaliate if the police fail to provide protection.

• Gachagua claims President William Ruto is behind the orchestrated chaos, using a Nakuru MP to hire goons.
• The threat comes after Gachagua's convoy was attacked in Kaptembwo, Nakuru West Sub-County, forcing the cancellation of a rally and damaging six vehicles.
• Intelligence suggests the National Police Service (NPS) was instructed to avoid areas of his rallies, a claim attributed to unhappy junior police officers.

Health CS Aden Duale and Mining CS Hassan Joho have accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of using opposition leaders, including Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, to campaign against President William Ruto.

• Duale dismissed claims that DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua commands seven million votes from Mount Kenya, stating the region has only 3.8 million votes.
• The leaders asserted that the Kenya Kwanza-ODM alliance has the numbers to retain power and announced efforts to mobilize seven million votes from the Coast and North Eastern regions for Ruto.
• Duale and Joho criticized the opposition, alleging they are sponsored by Kenyatta to undermine national peace and unity.

Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), and Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama have clashed following an alleged attack on Gachagua's convoy in Nakuru. Gachagua directly accused Arama of orchestrating the violence, questioning the commitment of Jubilee Party to the opposition.

• Gachagua alleges the attack was planned by President Ruto through Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika and MP Samuel Arama.
• MP Samuel Arama denies the accusations, stating he has no involvement and blaming Gachagua for "hate campaigns" against other leaders.
• The incident occurred during Gachagua's tour of Nakuru County, where vehicles belonging to DCP leaders were reportedly pelted with stones.
