The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has advised its supporters to refrain from participating in the June 25 memorial protests, emphasizing their commitment to a broad-based government and the need for compensation for victims of previous protests. ODM leaders, including Chairperson Gladys Wanga, conducted grassroots mobilization in Homa Bay and Kwale counties and criticized those organizing the upcoming demonstrations.

Police in Nairobi have sealed off key roads in anticipation of protests organized by Generation Z activists. The demonstrators are calling for justice for over 80 individuals who lost their lives during the 2024 demonstrations and last year's anniversary protests.

On June 25, security agencies implemented measures in Nairobi aimed at preventing unrest during the anniversary of a Gen Z protest. However, these restrictions led to significant disruptions in transport and increased tensions throughout the city, according to Eastleigh Voice.

Ahead of the June 25 protests, major roads in Kenya have been blocked and there is a heavy police presence, creating a tense atmosphere. The protests are organized by Gen Z activists, civil society groups, and families of victims to commemorate the two-year anniversary of the 2024 anti-Finance Bill demonstrations, which resulted in the deaths of numerous Kenyan youth.

ODM Party leader Oburu Oginga has called for peaceful protests among Kenyans participating in demonstrations on Thursday, which will commemorate the second anniversary of the 2024 Gen Z movement. He has also cautioned against the use of weapons during these events, emphasizing the importance of maintaining order and safety.

Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), has warned Kenyans, particularly Gen Z protesters, against participating in planned commemoration protests, citing intelligence reports of a potential violent crackdown in the Mt. Kenya region. He expressed concerns for public safety following previous demonstrations that resulted in fatalities, urging citizens to stay away from the streets on Thursday.
