The NPS also commended members of the public for their cooperation and adherence to procedures during the political gathering.

"We commend members of the public for their cooperation, maturity and adherence to established protocols.

"The Jacaranda rally demonstrates that political expression can take place without violence or disruption of public order. We therefore encourage all political leaders, supporters and stakeholders to make this the standard for future political engagements," the statement concluded.

Elsewhere, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has claimed that Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya will cause Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s downfall.

Speaking earlier Wednesday, Amisi accused Natembeya of causing wrangles within the Linda Mwananchi movement, alleging that the governor is pushing out some politicians from the movement. 

"Natembeya joined Linda Mwananchi, which I founded, and he has started pushing people like Babu out. You can even see them arguing over a microphone. 

"You want Sifuna to be President, yet you are disrupting the people who are supposed to help make him President. George Natembeya is actually Sifuna’s downfall," he claimed.

Amisi also alleged that Natembeya orchestrated his removal from the Linda Mwananchi WhatsApp group. 

"When Natembeya joined Linda Mwananchi, he first said that I should be removed from the WhatsApp group. One day, I woke up and found that I had been removed," he claimed.
