Linda Mwananchi supporters stage powerful entry into Kisumu despite opposition

After days of speculation over whether the ODM Linda Mwananchi faction would secure a venue for its planned rally in Kisumu, the group went ahead with the event, making what it described as a “heroic entry” into the lakeside city.

Despite the strong turnout of supporters, concerns have since emerged over reported violent confrontations and the alleged presence of armed groups during what was intended to be a peaceful political gathering. Authorities are yet to issue a comprehensive statement on the incidents.
