Wanne wajeruhiwa katika ghasia za uchaguzi Emurua Dikirr

Watu wanne walijeruhiwa baada ya wafuasi wa UDA na DCP kuvurugana wakati wa uchaguzi mdogo wa Emurua Dikirr Alhamisi.

Tukio lilitokea karibu na vituo vya kupigia kura vya Chelemei na Kiribwet katika wadi ya Kapsasian, Kaunti ya Narok. Polisi walithibitisha vurugu kati ya wafuasi wa vyama hivyo viwili wakati wapiga kura 44,457 walipokuwa wakichagua mbunge mpya kuchukua nafasi ya Johana Ngeno aliyefariki katika ajali ya helikopta.

Tume ya IEBC iliidhinisha wagombea watano, akiwemo David Kipsang Keter wa UDA na Vincent Rotich wa DCP. Kamanda wa Polisi wa Kaunti ya Narok Patrick Lobolia alithibitisha tukio hilo, huku wagombea wakitoa wito wa utulivu.

Ripoti moja ilisema mtu mmoja alijeruhiwa nje ya kituo cha Chelemei, huku mwingine akitembelewa hospitalini na mgombea wa DCP. Wengine walitibiwa katika hospitali za Chebunyo na Emurua Dikirr.

Voters in four Kenyan areas are set to cast ballots today in by-elections for one parliamentary seat and three wards. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has confirmed full readiness. Opposition leaders were absent during campaigns, while UDA figures actively participated.

Two close aides to President William Ruto, Farouk Kibet and Dennis Itumbi, have led grassroots campaigns to secure victories for the UDA party in by-elections held in November 2025 and February 2026. This contrasts with prevailing public opinion in Mt. Kenya and Western regions, where the ruling party faces significant pressure. Their strategies involved local mobilization and negotiations with community leaders.

He condemned a tear gas assault at his Kikuyu rally and vowed to press on with meetings, while allies criticised police politicisation. Kajiado police denied the claims.
