DEADLY CHAOS ROCKS KAJIADO as Anti-Riot Police Block DCP Party SG John Methu’s Rally

A dramatic scene was reported in Kajiado after a contingent of anti-riot police officers allegedly attempting to block a political rally led by Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary General John Methu reportedly fled the scene.

The incident has drawn attention to the political activities of the opposition party as its leaders continue engaging residents in different parts of the country ahead of the 2027 General Election.

According to the reports, the officers had been deployed in an attempt to prevent Methu’s rally from proceeding.

However, the situation reportedly took an unexpected turn when the contingent fled, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the planned disruption.

Methu, a key figure in the DCP leadership, has been actively involved in the party’s mobilisation efforts as it seeks to expand its support base beyond its traditional strongholds.

The reported incident comes amid heightened political activity across Kenya, with opposition leaders intensifying their grassroots engagements and criticising the government’s handling of political gatherings.

The presence of anti-riot police at political rallies has previously sparked debate over the balance between maintaining public order and protecting citizens’ constitutional rights to assemble, demonstrate and express their political views.

However, details surrounding the Kajiado incident, including the specific reasons for the police deployment and what prompted the officers to reportedly flee, remain unclear.

There was no immediate official statement detailing the circumstances of the incident or explaining whether the rally had been formally authorised.

The development is likely to attract further attention as political leaders continue their mobilisation activities ahead of the next general election.

Further details are awaited regarding the police operation and the events that unfolded during Methu’s rally in Kajiado.
