Political Tensions Rise in Kisii: 2027 Elections Predicted to be Violent

Kisii County Rally: Allegations of Violence in 2027 Elections A political rally in Kisii County, Kenya, on May 22, 2025, featured a speech by Hon. Donya Aburi that is generating controversy. Aburi, speaking primarily in Kisii, alleged that a political rival, Gachagua, predicted violence during the 2027 general elections. The video, from local news outlet Getembe Tv & Fm, shows Aburi making the claim. While the exact words used by Gachagua are unavailable in the video, Aburi's statement is clear. "Gachagua alikunywa bangi akasema 2027 elections kutakua na vita," she stated, which translates roughly to "Gachagua smoked weed and said the 2027 elections will be war." Further investigation is needed to confirm Gachagua's statement and the context in which it was made. This incident highlights the growing tension surrounding the upcoming elections. The video's claims raise concerns about the potential for political instability and underscore the importance of peaceful campaigning and fair electoral processes.
