Following violent disruptions in Homa Bay County that resulted in casualties and property destruction, the ODM faction Linda Mwananchi has unveiled a comprehensive strategy to combat political intolerance and violence.

• Linda Mwananchi vows to intensify court actions, pressure security agencies, engage in civil disobedience, and mobilize civil society and media.
• Key figures like Siaya Governor James Orengo have accused the President William Ruto administration of orchestrating violence and aiming to postpone the 2027 General Election.

A legal dispute over whether impeached officials can run for office while challenging their removal remains unresolved after the Attorney-General failed to provide specific guidance to the Supreme Court.

• The case directly impacts former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza, both impeached and involved in ongoing litigation.
• The Supreme Court had directed Attorney-General Dorcas Oduor to address specific questions on whether appeals suspend impeachment consequences and affect eligibility for 2027 elections.
• Ms. Oduor advised against proceeding with the advisory opinion, citing existing court decisions and arguing the case lacked novel constitutional questions.
• Lawyers for the applicant, Meru County Assembly Speaker Ayub Bundi, contend the AG did not answer the directed questions, leaving the constitutional uncertainty hanging over future elections.

• The move signifies a significant political shift, with Nyoro expressing a desire to chart a different political and economic direction for Kenya alongside opposition figures.
