Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has called on Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to take full responsibility for the insecurity witnessed during recent by-elections, which Sifuna described as one of the bloodiest election days in recent history.

• Sifuna accused security agencies of either incompetence or complicity in the unrest that occurred on Thursday, November 27, 2025.
• Violence was reported across multiple by-election hotspots, including Kabuchai, Malava, and Kasipul.
• In Malava, a Toyota Prado in a candidate’s convoy was torched, injuring at least two people, leading to the arrest of five suspects.
• Despite CS Murkomen's prior assurances of comprehensive security deployments, voter turnout dropped in affected polling stations according to the IEBC.
