The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has cautioned politicians against utilizing inflammatory language during political rallies as Kenya gears up for the 2027 General Election. During a recent meeting with community and religious leaders in Voi, Taita Taveta County, the commission emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and responsible politics.
The NCIC stressed that politicians must refrain from incitement and unlawful activities during election campaigns to avoid threatening public harmony. It clarified that it will enforce the law and take appropriate action against those who violate it through hate speech or other incendiary means. The commission urged politicians to adhere to lawful campaigning tactics and avoid conduct that could escalate tensions.
It also called on community and religious leaders to contribute to peace by engaging citizens and youth in community forums. The NCIC plans to utilize platforms popular among younger voters, such as youth rallies and weekend challenges, to promote messages of peace and responsible political involvement. The warning comes as political activities and early mobilization for the 2027 General Election intensify across the nation.
