⌨Kenyan media on November 24, 2025, heavily focused on the Magarini by-election, with Deputy President Gachagua accusing the IEBC Vice Chair, Fahima Araphat, of malpractice and plotting to sabotage the election, as reported by Citizen, People Daily, and YNews Digital throughout the morning and early afternoon. Gachagua's dramatic campaign entrance in Narok, including evading police, also garnered significant attention (People Daily, Tuko, Nairobi Leo). The IEBC later dismissed Gachagua’s claims (Citizen).
Concurrently, President Ruto embarked on an international trip to Angola for AU–EU and reform summits, securing market access in Malaysia for farm exports (Capital FM, Citizen, Kenyans). Earlier in the day, the World Bank upgraded Kenya's economic outlook but also warned about forex reserves (Kenyans, The Kenya Times).
