Government launches KSh10bn projects ahead of Ol Kalou by-election - July 2026

The Kenyan government has launched a massive development drive, unveiling projects valued at over KSh10 billion in Ol Kalou Constituency, Nyandarua County. This significant investment comes just weeks before the July 16 by-election. Campaigns for the Ol Kalou constituency by-election are intensifying, with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party employing tactics similar to those used in the Mbeere North by-election last November. These tactics include distributing mattresses, gas cylinders, and electricity connections to voters. Political analysts suggest the future of Kithure Kindiki as William Ruto's running mate is in jeopardy should the UDA party lose the upcoming Olkalou parliamentary by-election.
