Confrontations and Bribery Claims Mark Kenyan By-Elections.

 By-elections in Kenya's Mbeere North Constituency and Mumbuni North Ward saw clashes, including Muturi ejecting Nyeri MCA Kiruga Thuku from Siakago Social Hall for alleged voter intimidation. Bribery accusations flew both ways, with opposition claiming UDA agents handed out cash, while in Machakos, former MCA Paul Museku was chased by residents suspecting him of vote-buying. IEBC officials noted mostly peaceful voting despite hitches, as heavy police presence ensured polls closed without major disruptions. The races tested regional loyalties ahead of 2027, with leaders urging calm acceptance of results.
