A campaign rally for local council candidate Eric Wekesa in Kabuchai was violently disrupted, forcing attendees, including Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, to flee. The disturbance began with loud bangs and tear gas, causing the crowd to scatter as individuals threw stones.
Governor Natembeya condemned the attack as political intolerance, calling for security agencies to intervene. His party, DAP-K, alleged the disruption was orchestrated by groups linked to senior figures to intimidate voters ahead of the by-election. The incident has increased tensions in Bungoma County, with calls for an official investigation into the violence.
