An MP from the Rift Valley left guests whispering after reportedly taking over proceedings at an education event when he realised his political rival was also present.

Unsurprisingly, those reportedly given the floor were largely his political allies, leaving others watching from the sidelines. Was it a show of leadership or insecurity dressed up as protocol? Guests were left guessing.

Has the 2027 election fever become so contagious that no discussion is safe from campaign talk? Members of a committee grilling a senior official were reportedly left wondering after their guest repeatedly dragged the forthcoming polls into his responses, allegedly boasting about his side’s chances of victory. Several times, he was reportedly reminded to stick to the matter at hand, but the election talk supposedly kept creeping back. One wonders whether the campaign season has unofficially begun, or the official simply cannot resist a political moment.
