The claims centre on the Suam border area, where a personal assistant to a Member of Parliament allied to the ruling UDA party was reportedly intercepted while allegedly transporting voter-registration materials across the border.

Sources cited in the investigation allege that Ugandan nationals were being targeted for possible registration as Kenyan voters, with the alleged operation potentially involving up to 100,000 votes.

The claims have also raised questions about the role of Kenya’s national registration authorities and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in safeguarding the voters’ register.

However, the IEBC has denied allegations of illegal voter registration, voter transfers and the registration of foreign nationals, saying the claims are unsubstantiated.

The allegations and the competing accounts have prompted renewed scrutiny of cross-border registration and the measures in place to protect the integrity of the 2027 electoral process.

Sifuna is also facing a tight timeline set by the IEBC and the Registrar of Political Parties, with political parties required to complete registration, changes, rebranding and submission of party officials’ lists ahead of the October 15 deadline.

With time running out, questions are mounting over Sifuna’s next political move and whether he will secure a party vehicle in time to advance his ambitions ahead of the 2027 polls.

So, what next for Edwin Sifuna?

Speaking during a Jubilee Party National Executive Council meeting in Nairobi, Uhuru said he remained convinced Odinga had secured the votes after Jubilee joined his presidential campaign, suggesting that what happened after the ballot was cast changed the outcome, and that those who know what happened should tell the truth.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye's judgment comes barely a week after another High Court judge, Justice Lawrence Mugambi, upheld the same restriction, creating a rare conflict in judicial interpretation over former presidents' political rights.

Kenya started implementing the G-to-G deal in April 2023, in what the government has always maintained was aimed at stabilising the shilling that had weakened to historical lows.

Uhuru might have left office more than four years ago, but he is not leaving President William Ruto’s lips anytime soon, as his predecessor anchors his reelection campaign on bashing Uhuru at every opportunity.

The High Court barred retired President Uhuru Kenyatta from holding a political party office, while also nullifying the appointment of Moitalel Ole Kenta as Jubilee Party Secretary General.

The developments have further complicated the leadership and management of a party that once dominated Kenya’s political landscape.

Jubilee has also continued to lose sitting Members of Parliament to other political formations, weakening its presence in Parliament and raising questions about its ability to mount an effective political campaign ahead of the 2027 elections.

The leadership uncertainty presents a challenge for former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i, who is seeking to use Jubilee as a political vehicle for his 2027 presidential ambitions.

As the party navigates the legal battles and internal leadership disputes, attention is now turning to who will ultimately steer Jubilee and whether it can reorganize itself ahead of the next election.

Remarks by Siaya Governor James Orengo about his presidential ambitions have sparked fresh debate within the movement, with attention now turning to whether the outfit will settle on Orengo or its de facto leader, Edwin Sifuna.

The movement also faces a strategic dilemma over which political party will provide the vehicle for its presidential bid and whether to work with other opposition parties in its effort to challenge President William Ruto.

The leaders gathered at Jacaranda Grounds in Nairobi, where they called for the opposition to unite behind a single political front ahead of the 2027 General Election.

They said a united opposition would be better placed to mount a strong challenge against President William Ruto and his administration.

Along the perimeter fence of the Burundian Embassy in Nairobi, bedding, clothes and battered travel bags are scattered outside the gates, while several motorcycles squeezed into every available space stand as silent reminders of lives abruptly brought to a halt.

The survey also places President William Ruto, his administration and the police under scrutiny over violence witnessed during anti-government protests.

The findings point to deepening frustration among Kenyans with the government, with the latest results adding to a pattern of declining public confidence in the current administration.

The report comes amid continued debate over the government’s handling of protests, security and the broader concerns raised by citizens across the country.

Tobias Chanji reports on the latest TIFA findings and what they reveal about Kenyans’ growing concerns over the direction of the country.

The probe is now focusing on CCTV and other surveillance footage along the route of the incident, with investigators hoping to identify individuals and vehicles that could shed light on Kiprotich’s disappearance.

However, questions are emerging over the pace of the investigation and whether authorities have moved with the urgency expected in a case involving the alleged abduction of a journalist.

Our investigations team has been tracing the evidence from the scene of the incident to Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) offices and the Standard Group newsroom, uncovering fresh questions about surveillance footage that could help investigators establish what happened and identify those behind Kiprotich’s alleged abduction.

In Mowlem, Eastlands, at least 20 foreign-owned businesses have reportedly closed, with some owners leaving the area amid fears for their safety.

Fresh details have emerged of how leaders entrusted to put the interests of citizens first deliberately planned and executed one of the most daring goon attacks in a blatant abuse of constitutionalism and democracy.

Politicians from the DCP and Wiper Patriotic Front parties claim the government is increasingly concerned about scrutiny over its actions and alleged treatment of Kenyans who criticise the administration.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has also alleged the existence of a security unit he believes is behind a series of abductions. The opposition is now demanding accountability and greater protection for journalists amid growing concerns over media freedom and safety.

The attackers drove Kiprotich hundreds of kilometres before abandoning him at Ekalakala village near Masinga Dam.

In an exclusive KTN investigation, we reveal the faces of the four men captured in footage and reconstruct the events surrounding Kiprotich’s abduction — raising questions over who targeted him and why.

Mr Kiprotich was found at 2am dumped some 10 meters away from Masinga Dam, nine hours after he was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru Road by armed men.

In a statement, the news organisation said Mr Kiprotich sought refuge at a nearby household before a Standard Group team located him at around 6. 30am.

“He is safe and okay, though visibly shaken by the ordeal,” read part of the statement.

Kiprotich told colleagues he was taken by four masked men armed with an AK-47, travelling in a Subaru bearing registration KDC 125E, whose check reveals to be a government vehicle.

Muluka said the scale of the alleged abuses should concern Kenyans as the country heads towards the 2027 General Election.

Speaking on SPICE FM on Tuesday, September 1, Muluka linked concerns over police killings and enforced disappearances to what he described as a failure by those in power to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.

The leaders made a series of stopovers across the county, using the rallies to criticise President William Ruto’s administration over what they described as failure to fulfil key promises that propelled the Kenya Kwanza coalition to power.

As they seek to strengthen their political base ahead of the 2027 General Election, the leaders questioned the President’s record in office, arguing that his performance so far offers little justification for a second term.

The brigade’s Meru tour comes as political formations increasingly position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections, with leaders seeking to rally support by highlighting what they say are gaps in the government’s delivery of its campaign pledges.

The electoral agency says the procurement process has not been concluded and is currently on hold pending a review.

IEBC’s clarification comes amid growing scrutiny over the procurement of the technology expected to support the management of Kenya’s upcoming elections.

Gachagua says he had previously warned Ruto that the use of goons could plunge the country into anarchy.

He says the chaos witnessed during President Ruto’s visit to Emurua Dikirr is similar to what opposition leaders encounter during their rallies.

Once political allies, the two leaders have increasingly traded public jabs, signalling a deepening rift ahead of the 2027 General Election.

With political temperatures expected to rise in the coming months, the Uhuru-Ruto fallout could shape Kenya’s political landscape as the country heads toward the polls.

Kenyatta dismissed the allegations, saying he has no interest in returning to active politics and is content with the ten years he served as Kenya’s Head of State.

The retired president was speaking during the 23rd anniversary of the death of former Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa, held at the Wamalwa Kijana Memorial Home in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County.

Kenyatta was accompanied by leaders from the United Opposition during the commemorative event.

His remarks come amid heightened political activity and growing realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election.
