The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has strongly refuted claims of election rigging made by the opposition ahead of the November 27 by-elections, accusing them of anticipating defeat. This response comes after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper Patriotic Front Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka alleged an elaborate plot to manipulate the polls in key areas.

• The UDA, through Secretary General Hassan Omar, labeled the rigging allegations as a "predictable attempt to politicise the electoral process."
• The opposition, including Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka, claimed an elaborate scheme to rig elections in battle zones like Mbeere North, Magarini, and Malava.
• The ruling party urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to disregard the claims and ensure fair elections in all 22 electoral areas.
