27.11.2025 ⇢ The Day By-Elections Were Marred by Violence
⌨Kenyan media on November 27, 2025, heavily focused on the country's by-elections, which were characterized by escalating violence and tensions. Early reports detailed smooth voting starts amid security (Capital FM, Daily Nation), but quickly shifted to accusations of malpractice and intimidation (Kenyans, People Daily). By mid-morning, widespread chaos, including an MP attack, a bodyguard losing a firearm, and the arrest of Seth Panyako, became central to the coverage (Nairobi Leo, Kenyans, Daily Nation). The afternoon saw continued reports of violence, including vehicles being torched, with an ODM candidate calling for the postponement of all by-elections (Capital FM, People Daily). As polling stations closed, vote counting began amidst further clashes, which the IEBC condemned (Capital FM, Daily Nation, People Daily, Standard Media, YNews Digital).
