Deputy President Kithure Kindiki faced unexpected hostility from a tense crowd in Mbeere North while campaigning for the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate in the region’s upcoming by-election.
Kindiki, a powerful voice in the ruling coalition, traveled to Mbeere North to drum up support for UDA’s aspirant, emphasizing his development agenda and local infrastructure promises. But his campaign message was met with fierce resistance.
From the video seen by wamuzinews.co.ke he addressed the crowd, some locals shouted and jeered, questioning his presence and political motives. Voices of dissent challenged his narrative, demanding answers on stalled projects and accusing the government of making promises that never materialize.
Witnesses say the tension escalated quickly — kind of a confrontation, with Kindiki attempting to calm the situation by asking the crowd to air their grievances respectfully. Reportedly, he highlighted ongoing UDA-led development efforts in the county and appealed to the people to trust his leadership.
At one point, security aides intervened to manage the heated crowd, creating a clear divide between the DP’s supporters and his critics.The clash comes at a critical moment: Mbeere North is holding a by-election, and Kindiki’s campaign push is being closely watched as a litmus test for UDA’s strength in the region.
This by-election is more than a local poll — it’s a symbol of influence, power, and political control in a battleground county.For now, political analysts warn that today’s confrontation could overshadow Kindiki’s campaign if not handled carefully.
If criticism from locals grows, the DP’s message of development may get drowned out by accusations of neglect and political opportunism.The coming days will be crucial. Will Kindiki be able to win over the skeptics he encountered today—or will the negative reception mark the beginning of trouble for UDA’s push in Mbeere North?
