Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69469, member: 636"] The National Police Service has pledged to provide comprehensive and impartial security for the upcoming by-elections. Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga stated that a detailed security plan was developed with the electoral commission to ensure a peaceful and credible voting process. He warned that any violence, hate speech, or disruption of public order would be met with a strict legal response. A total of 181 candidates are competing across 24 electoral areas, including one senatorial seat and six National Assembly seats. The police urged political candidates and their supporters to conduct peaceful campaigns and adhere to the law. The public was encouraged to vote without fear and to report any suspicious activities through official police hotlines. This security assurance follows recent fatal clashes in Homa Bay County.
