Nairobi Police Commander Warns Against Political Rally in CBD Ahead of Jacaranda Event

Nairobi Police Commander Issa Mohamud has warned organisers of the Linda Mwananchi rally against holding a political procession in the central business district.

The warning was issued on September 12, 2026. This was a day before the planned rally on September 13.

The rally was set to begin at All Saints Cathedral. It was to pass through Gikomba, Burma Market and Jogoo Road before ending at Jacaranda Grounds.

Addressing reporters in Nairobi, the commander said Nairobi would not be allowed to become a battleground for political rivalry.

"We will not allow Nairobi to become a battleground for political supremacy, and political competition must never degenerate into mobilisation of violence," he said.

The statement came amid tension between the Linda Mwananchi camp and ODM.

Caroli Omondi, in an interview on NTV, alleged that ODM had previously organised attacks on Linda Mwananchi members in Homa Bay, Kakamega, Busia and Kisumu. He also claimed there was a mild attempt in Mombasa that was averted.

ODM Secretary General denied the claims. The official said ODM had fought for democratic space in Kenya and had no plan to disrupt the rally.

"We do not even have time to plan anything evil. We wish them well," the official said.

The official asked security agencies to investigate rumours linking the party to planned disruptions.
