    People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro, his People’s Liberation Party (PLP) counterpart Martha Karua and Jubilee Party boss Dr. Fred Matiang’i, who toured Njoro in Nakuru County, criticised the government’s track record, accusing it of failing to deliver on its promises made to Kenyans since 2022.

    United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Hassan Omar says he owes no apology for his controversial remarks on having the dead vote for President William Ruto to ensure a win in the 2027 race, which appeared to suggest that the fingerprints of deceased Kenyans could be used to cast ballots in favour of the Head of State in next year’s elections.

    Appearing before the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) disciplinary committee on Wednesday, Omar insisted his remarks had been taken out of context, arguing that he had used a metaphor to urge Coastal residents to turn out in large numbers to register as voters.

    “Hata mtu akiwa amekufa tuchukuwe kidole chake kabla hatujamzika kutoka kwa ile BVR tupige kura yake,” Omar had said on September 11 in Mombasa.
