Kindiki Faces Hostile Crowd in Nyeri County

Deputy President Githura Kindiki faced a hostile reception in Othaya, Nyeri County, during a development event on June 4th, 2025. A large crowd gathered outside the venue, chanting slogans calling for a "one-term" presidency, a clear indication of opposition to Kindiki. The protest, seemingly aimed at his predecessor, escalated into a tense standoff with security personnel. Citizen TV reporter Steven Letoo reported on the incident, stating, "More security officials were deployed to take control even as the Deputy President...seemingly directed at his predecessor." Earlier in the day, Kindiki had met with Embu County Governor Sisinya Mbarire, aiming to dispel rumors of a fallout with the United Democratic Alliance. Despite the hostile reception, the event proceeded. This incident highlights the political tensions in the region and underscores the challenges faced by political leaders.
