Chaos in Emurua Dikirr: UDA Leader Flees as DCP Wave Sweeps By-Election Trail
EMURUA DIKKIR, Kenya – The political landscape in Narok County turned volatile on Tuesday as the battle for the Emurua Dikirr parliamentary seat reached a fever pitch. In a scene that has since gone viral, a high-ranking leader allied with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) was forced to flee for his life after an agitated crowd heckled him during a public rally.
The confrontation marks a dramatic escalation in the rivalry between President William Ruto’s UDA and the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), a nascent outfit closely associated with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The Great Escape
The drama unfolded when a senior UDA operative, reportedly accompanied by local surrogates, attempted to endorse the UDA candidate while disparaging the DCP frontrunner. The crowd, largely composed of local youth chanting DCP sloga

As the boos drowned out the sound system, the situation spiraled. Caught in the melee, a prominent leader—identified by onlookers as a key regional ally—was seen making a tactical retreat. In the chaos, he reportedly dashed toward his vehicle with such haste that he carried off a live microphone, leading locals to jokingly demand its “safe return” via social media.
A High-Stakes By-Election
The by-election, slated for May 14, 2026, was necessitated by the tragic passing of former MP Johanna Ng’eno. For Gachagua, the seat represents a crucial litmus test for his political survival and influence in the Rift Valley and beyond.
“The ground is shifting,” noted a local political analyst. “What we saw today isn’t just heckling; it’s a message that the DCP is no longer a ‘fringe’ party in this region.”
As both camps retreat to strategize, the message from Emurua Dikirr is clear: Ground ni kumoto (the ground is hot). With just days to go, the tiny constituency has become the ultimate theater for Kenya’s 2026 political realignments.
