After several tense minutes, calm returned, allowing Gachagua’s meeting to continue as planned. Local leaders condemned the incident, calling for thorough investigations into the motive behind the attack and the identities of those involved.
Residents have urged authorities to strengthen security at political events, especially as the political climate in the region continues to heat up ahead of upcoming campaigns.
