Kindiki Warns Politicians Against Using Goons to Fight Rivals

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a stern warning to politicians against using youth or goons to engage in political violence ahead of the 2027 General Election. Kindiki further warned Kenyan politicians to cease interfering with the work of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), stating that such actions could jeopardize the country's democratic process. He also urged the IEBC to remain impartial and resist intimidation from politicians ahead of the August 2027 elections. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen echoed these concerns, urging the Opposition to cease interfering with the IEBC and instead focus on presenting policies for the 2027 General Election. Meanwhile, a Linda Mwananchi political rally in Meru town was briefly disrupted when a teargas canister was thrown into the crowd, causing panic among supporters.
