Kindiki Says Opposition Rallies Misleading as 2027 Election Timeline Released

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed the large crowds seen at opposition rallies as an unreliable indicator of voting intentions, emphasizing that actual votes are what matter. Kindiki told off young politicians he said were 'chest-thumping because of crowds.' Meanwhile, the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) has released a detailed timeline for political party activities leading up to the August 10, 2027 general election. At the same time, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has launched a podcast titled 'let's talk' to engage with city residents on development matters, a move that has sparked mixed reactions, with some leaders telling him to face residents directly rather than through the new medium.
