The Saturday meeting aimed to rally UDA polling centre officials and grassroots leaders, but youths tried forcing entry, sparking chaos with police using tear gas and reports of gunshots.Several vehicles burned, including journalists' cars from NTV Kenya, Royal Media Services, and Wimwaro FM, with accounts varying from two to ten damaged.
Casualty claims differed, from Governor Cecily Mbarire noting one seriously hurt youth to unverified reports of deaths; Dennis Itumbi blamed politician John Gitonga Mukunji for sponsoring disruptors. The unrest underscores pre-2027 election tensions, with calls for investigations and accountability.
