Senator Edwin Sifuna and former governor Mike Sonko pushed forward with the
Linda Mwananchi Tour rally in Homa Bay County on Sunday, part of a nationwide
drive before the 2027 elections.
Local leaders backing President Ruto countered
with praise for infrastructure projects, but reports of barricades, armed
youths raiding hotels, and an attack on AFP correspondent Fred Ooko underscored
the friction.
Police used tear gas to clear paths as Sifuna's team navigated obstacles, highlighting divides over development and political mobilization.
