Presidential aspirant Eliud Owalo has condemned remarks by nominated MP Joseph Wainaina urging members of a particular community in the Rift Valley who oppose President William Ruto’s re-election to leave the region. Owalo warned that such statements risk reigniting ethnic tensions in a country still bearing the scars of the 2007/2008 post-election violence, which killed more than 1,100 people and displaced over 600,000. He urged Kenyans to reject divisive rhetoric and prevent a recurrence at all costs.
