President Uhuru Kenyatta postponed his tour of Kondole slum indefinitely after his roadside address was met with ODM chants, according to an article by Kenya Today.
The residents were reportedly angered by the president's call for Kenyans to unite under Jubilee Party, which they termed hypocritical. They claimed that the president's government had sacked many individuals from the area due to their last names.
The disruption forced the president's tour of Kondele to be derailed momentarily.
This incident follows other recent events where Jubilee Party has faced rejection, including a public statement by Meru Governor telling off Deputy President Ruto that Meru people would not join Jubilee Party, and a unanimous decision by Coast residents that Jubilee is not their party of choice.
Residents crowded Uhuru's speech, sending a message that they are tired of corruption, tribalism, and threats by his government, and expressing hope for an ODM government.
- President Uhuru Kenyatta was accompanied by Governor Ranguma, who is currently unpopular in Kisumu.
