Government sent youth to burn ballot boxes and KIEMS kits in Narok Town; Gachagua claims
Gachagua has accused the government of deploying goons and police officers to destroy election materials in Narok North following signs of defeat in the ongoing by-elections.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused the government of deploying goons and police officers to destroy election materials in Narok North following signs of defeat in the ongoing by-elections.
In a statement shared on his social media pages on Thursday, November 27, 2025, Gachagua claimed that the state had resorted to “desperate measures” after realising that its preferred candidates were performing poorly in several by-election centres.

According to Gachagua, after the candidate allied to the state appeared to be on the losing end in the Narok Town by-elections, they decided to burn ballot boxes in order to interfere with the outcome.
He stated that individuals linked to the state were sent to burn ballot boxes and KIEMS kits in an attempt to interfere with the outcome.
“After losing the Narok Township Ward by-elections, the government has sent goons and police to burn the ballot boxes and KIEMS kits, but it is too little, too late. How desperate are William Ruto and Patrick Ntutu?” Gachagua wrote.
His remarks come at a time when tension remains high in several polling stations across the country, with multiple reports of violence, disruption, and attempts to interfere with the voting and tallying process.
These were experienced in Mbere North, which was recently mapped by IEBC as a hotspot for by-election violence after 2 rival goon groups clashed with each other.
