Raila Odinga Jr. has criticized political violence following an attack on Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka's convoy in Migori Town. In a statement on November 5, 2026, he emphasized that political differences should be settled through ideas, not violence. The incident occurred on Thursday, when about 10 individuals threw stones at the convoy, causing damage to multiple vehicles.
Among the affected vehicles was that of former Attorney-General Justin Muturi, whose windscreen was smashed. Despite the disruption, Kalonzo proceeded with his address to the gathering, stating that attacks on those seeking office were a serious threat to democracy. Kalonzo's colleague, former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, and former Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju were among those who condemned the violence, calling for accountability.
Siaya Governor James Orengo also condemned the attack, warning that democracy and violence cannot coexist as the country prepares for the 2027 General Election.
