Opposition cries foul on polls, power games stir tension

Kenya's opposition crew is getting ready to fight the Mbeere North and Malava by-election results in court because they think the government rigged things. Kalonzo Musyoka from Wiper Party told church people in Machakos that his coalition has proof of tampering, and he claims security forces got pressured during vote counting while officials messed with the numbers. He says President Ruto's side didn't actually win either race, and they're putting together a serious legal challenge.

The opposition leaders showed up at a Thanksgiving event after winning a different race in Mumbuni North ward, which they're using as evidence that support for Ruto is tanking in the area. Kalonzo went off about voter intimidation, bribery, and government ministers illegally campaigning, and he even called out the chaos at Gachagua's church event, where cops tear-gassed people. He wrapped up by saying the coalition has clear policy goals around housing and taxes despite claims that they have no agenda.
