Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has condemned the disruption of a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) meeting in Nembure, Embu County, blaming those who organised youths to cause chaos at the gathering.
In a statement posted on his X account on Saturday, September 12, 2026, Kindiki said the UDA party regretted the loss and damage reported during the incident and called for those responsible to face the law.
“The UDA Party regrets the loss and/or damage brought about by those responsible for organising the youth to disrupt our party meeting in Nembure, Embu earlier today,” Kindiki said.
He condemned political violence and urged law enforcement agencies to take punitive measures against individuals involved in organising or perpetrating violence.

“The Party condemns violence and demands that law enforcement agencies take punitive measures against all those responsible for perpetuating political violence,” he added.
Call for issue-based politics
Kindiki said UDA would continue to advocate for issue-based politics, arguing that political parties should compete on their development records and policy proposals rather than through violence and intimidation.
“The Party stands for issue-based politics and a contest around who or which party has a better development track record and policy goals for Kenya’s future, rather than forcing support through lies, violence and useless slogans,” he said.
The Deputy President said UDA’s leadership in Embu had been tasked with verifying the exact nature and extent of the losses and damage arising from the incident.
