14.07.2026 ⇢ The Day the Ol Kalou By-Election Dominated
⌨
The Ol Kalou by-election commanded editorial attention throughout the day, with coverage intensifying from early morning reports of an attack on a Gachagua ally and IEBC warnings against unaccredited agents. By mid-morning, MP Kega narrated his escape, and the opposition warned the poll would reveal the fate of 2027 elections. Afternoon developments included IEBC fining MP Gikaria KSh2.5 million for electoral code breaches and Gachagua alleging a UDA rigging plot. The story evolved from violence and integrity concerns to legal and political maneuvering, overshadowing other items like the fuel VAT extension and the Iran-US base strike claim.
