The KNCHR has raised the alarm over what it describes as an escalating wave of political violence, voter bribery and intimidation in the run-up to the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election. The commission has warned that the prevailing environment threatens the integrity and credibility of the electoral process. In a statement just hours before the campaigns in Ol Kalou officially closed, the rights commission condemned what it termed a “dangerous trajectory” of election-related violence and called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of all individuals involved in electoral offences.
