Kalonzo’s Ukombozi tour attacked by goons in Migori

Nairobi, Kenya – Opposition leaders, headed by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, faced political violence during their Ukombozi tour in Migori Town, Kenya. The final stop of the opposition campaign was met with goons throwing stones at the leaders, despite describing the meeting as peaceful. Kalonzo Musyoka blamed the police for using teargas against their supporters, accusing them of employing a "throw stones, then teargas" script.

He warned that endangering a leader's life was a grave mistake. The attack, he believed, would only strengthen Kenyans' resolve against political violence. Democratic Party leader Justin Muturi accused Junet Mohammed of being behind the attack, describing it as an act of political intolerance and an assault on democratic freedoms.

Muturi vowed that the opposition would not be silenced or intimidated, insisting that their right to political engagement was protected by the Constitution. All opposition leaders, including DAP-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa, vowed to continue their political activities despite the incident.
