Police dispersed supporters of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua with tear gas during an attempted rally in Subukia, Nakuru County. Democracy for Citizens Party deputy leader Cleophas Malala and Nyandarua Senator John Methu led the political gathering. Law enforcement officers established roadblocks to prevent the leaders from reaching their planned venue. The crowd faced hours of delays before organizers successfully conducted their public address. Authorities used chemical agents against both political figures and assembled residents.
Malala criticized the government's interference with constitutional rights of expression and assembly. The DCP official accused the administration of orchestrating the disruption to silence opposition voices. Senator Methu expressed appreciation for residents who remained despite police intimidation tactics. Gachagua praised his representatives from overseas for maintaining momentum during his absence. The political leaders began their day at the AIC Subukia Town church before conducting community outreach across the county.
