Thousands of Kisumu women protested to defend Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo’s community work against alleged political attacks by Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, demanding she "leave PS Omollo alone." This demonstration follows simmering tensions from the recent Kasipul by-election.

• Over a thousand women from Kaloleni, Nyalenda, Manyatta, and Obunga estates participated in the protest.
• The dispute centers on Governor Wanga’s accusation that PS Omollo backed an independent candidate in the Kasipul by-election, which ODM's Boyd Were ultimately won.
• The protest occurred a day after Governor Wanga stripped her deputy, Oyugi Magwanga, of the agriculture portfolio, a move seen as punishment for allegedly supporting the independent candidate.
