Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has issued a three-day ultimatum demanding the arrest of Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and nominated MP Joseph Wainaina over alleged hate speech. Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, August 31, she warned that a section of Mt Kenya leaders would withdraw political support for President William Ruto if law enforcement fails to act. Wamuchomba also accused the administration of selective application of the law, claiming it shields allies from prosecution while ignoring inflammatory remarks.

President William Ruto has defended his order for Tata Chemicals Magadi to exit Kenya, hitting back at criticism from the Linda Mwananchi political movement.

Businessman and Safina Party leader Jimi Wanjigi cautioned the United Opposition against selecting Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka as its presidential candidate for the upcoming election.

Wanjigi emphasized his honesty about Musyoka's capabilities despite their friendship.

Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has criticized Siaya Governor James Orengo for allegedly misleading the Luo community regarding their political direction ahead of the 2027 election.

The Muungano Party, led by former Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana, has formally applied to rename itself The Mwananchi Party (TMP), according to a Gazette Notice published by the Registrar of Political Parties under Section 20(1)(d) of the Political Parties Act. The application introduces a third claimant to the contested "Mwananchi" political identity and could complicate ongoing legal efforts by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi movement ahead of Kenya's 2027 General Election.
