They criticized the government's response to the high cost of living, joblessness, and political tensions.

• Eugene Wamalwa, leader of Democratic Action Party-Kenya (DAP-K), warned that "Pride comes before the fall," suggesting the government's pride in not listening to leaders would lead to its downfall.
• Rigathi Gachagua, leader of Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), accused the UDA party of attempting to impose a candidate in Mbeere North and using police to instill fear.
• The accusations were made during a church service at Kanyuambora ACK Mbeere North on November 16, 2025.
• Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka urged young people to remain vigilant during elections to prevent rigging.
