For people in Mukhuyu Village in Lubao, Shinyalu Constituency, the death of Gerishom Wafula Manase was not an isolated shock. It followed weeks of fear. According to the story, residents say the village has endured a string of house break-ins in recent weeks, with criminals taking people’s belongings and leaving families afraid to sleep at night. They noted that the attack on Manase, the deputy principal of Navakholo Technical College, came less than a week after a previous crime in the area.

Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has convened a meeting of former Members of Parliament from the Nyanza region to plan a coordinated effort to support President William Ruto’s re-election in 2027. The meeting was held on Sunday, November 9, and brought together former legislators, a former deputy governor, the sitting Deputy Governor of Siaya County and opinion leaders from across Nyanza. Addressing the group, Wandayi said the gathering had reached a firm consensus to back Ruto’s return to office in the August 2027 General Election. He described the meeting as a moment for reflection on the community’s political direction. He pointed to what he called significant development gains under the broad-based arrangement between President Ruto and the late ODM leader Raila Odinga as the reason for the renewed pledge. According to Wandayi, the group agreed to keep up the momentum through further consultations and to widen engagement to other sectors and leadership groups beyond those at ...

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino may have been joking when he told supporters not to call him "Excellency," but the timing of the comment has fueled fresh political conversations in Nairobi. At a time when speculation around the 2027 Nairobi governor race continues to intensify, Babu's light-hearted remark has been interpreted by some supporters as part of a wider strategy to present himself as a leader who remains connected to ordinary wananchi. "When we meet, don't call me 'Excellency'. If you do, power might go to my head," Babu joked, drawing laughter from the audience. While many saw the comment as harmless humor, political observers note that it fits neatly into the image Babu has spent years building. Unlike many politicians who embrace titles and protocol, Babu often portrays himself as a grassroots leader who prefers direct engagement with residents. In estates such as Embakasi, Dandora, Umoja and Kayole, his supporters frequently praise his acce...

The biggest message from the opposition rally in Kitengela was not who will carry the presidential flag in 2027. It was the public commitment that there will be only one candidate against President William Ruto. For months, Kenyans have watched opposition leaders trade endorsements, launch parties and build separate political movements. Questions about whether Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua, Edwin Sifuna or Fred Matiang'i will emerge as the preferred candidate have dominated political discussions. But in Kitengela, the opposition appeared keen on changing that conversation. Standing before thousands of supporters, Kalonzo and Gachagua repeatedly emphasized unity, insisting that personal ambitions would not be allowed to split the anti-Ruto movement. The message seemed carefully calculated. In Kajiado County, many opposition supporters have expressed concern that multiple candidates could repeat mistakes of previous elections where divided opposition votes benefited incumbents. T...
