Police intervened in multiple opposition gatherings, using tear gas to disperse crowds. In Kitengela, a political meeting led by the Edwin Sifuna faction descended into chaos, resulting in the death of one person, Vincent Oyaro, who was reportedly shot dead by police. An ODM rally in the same area, organized by Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna, was also met with tear gas. In Nairobi's city center, police dispersed a political rally attended by opposition leaders like DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka using tear gas.
