In Embu County, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki held a meeting with over 15,000 United Democratic Alliance (UDA) officials to prepare them for upcoming elections and counter political competition. The meeting, held in Nembure, was disrupted by chaos involving Governor Cecily Mbarire, who reported that nearly 10 vehicles belonging to delegates had been burnt.
Kindiki addressed the officials, urging them to defend the government's record, counter misinformation, and prepare for ward-level UDA official elections soon. He also highlighted various achievements of the Kenya Kwanza administration, including stable currency rates, lower prices for fertilizers, seeds, and artificial insemination doses, increased coffee and milk prices, larger budget allocations for education, and significant expansions in healthcare and infrastructure.
The unrest continued as youths clashed with police, leading to the burning of vehicles and theft of UDA merchandise, with a call for investigations.
