Kalonzo demands probe into Linda Mwananchi Homa Bay rally violence, says 61 died

The Linda Mwananchi movement has accused President William Ruto’s administration of fueling political violence and intolerance following an attack on a campaign convoy led by Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka in Migori County. The movement condemned the attack, alleging it was part of a broader plan by the government to intimidate opposition leaders and establish political dominance in the Nyanza region ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Linda Mwananchi accused the government of using violence to silence alternative political voices and create an environment of political enclaves and local power brokers through intimidation, ethnic violence, and illegal detentions, warning against efforts to create political divisions and undermine public confidence in the electoral process.
