Linda Mwananchi Movement accuses President Ruto of sponsoring Migori attack

The Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) has accused President William Ruto and his allies of orchestrating an attack on Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka's convoy in Migori County on November 5.

In a statement, LMM Head of Communications Pauline Njoroge alleged that the violence was intended to create a false perception that the Nyanza region supports the current broad-based government. The movement claimed this strategy aims to establish a political stronghold in the region to facilitate electoral theft during the 2027 General Election.

Njoroge further accused the administration of using state-funded goons and rogue police elements to undermine political liberation efforts. The LMM has demanded the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the disruption.

Separately, Democratic Party leader Justin Muturi condemned an alleged attack on his team in Migori Town, accusing Suna East MP Junet Mohammed of deploying goons to intimidate political opponents.
