Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua returned to Kenya after a 42-day US tour, arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) amid tight security and jubilant supporters. His return follows controversial allegations he made during his trip regarding the Ruto administration.

• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen downplayed unrest fears but warned against disruptions, dismissing Gachagua's claims as "reckless and damaging."
• Gachagua accused President William Ruto's administration of engaging with terror groups, financing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and negotiating with extremist intermediaries.
• The National Police Service deployed water cannons, anti-riot squads, and helicopters for aerial surveillance, maintaining order as supporters of his Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) gathered.
