Video footage circulating online showed Nyamu’s car speeding away from Kabete Polytechnic with two men clinging to its sides.
The crowd reacted with shouts and screams, urging Nyamu to continue. One woman shouted, “Acha apite nao!” as panic spread.
Reports indicated that one individual had attempted to smash the car’s windshield and was later rushed to hospital after sustaining injuries.
Earlier, Nyamu was addressing the rally when a group of men became rowdy. Security personnel blocked them from reaching the stage, allowing her to continue speaking.
She claimed the disruption had been orchestrated, telling the crowd, “Yule amewatuma mumwambie mmepata mwanamke wazimu, hatishwi. Kwendeni muwaambie wapange mkutano yao, waache kutishwa na kazi yangu.”
The dramatic exit quickly went viral online, drawing mixed reactions from Kenyans. On social media, some questioned who could hire goons to target the senator, while others expressed concern over the use of violence. Many noted that the incident highlighted the risks politicians face during public gatherings.
Despite the chaos, Nyamu remained defiant and vowed to continue her political work.
Supporters argued that such attacks will not deter her, emphasizing the importance of security during rallies. The incident has sparked widespread discussion about political violence and safety for candidates in Kenya.
The Kabete rally episode demonstrates how quickly public events can turn dangerous. It also raises questions about the organization and protection of political gatherings, highlighting the need for stronger security measures to ensure both politicians and citizens remain safe.
The viral footage and online debate continue to capture national attention, as citizens, media, and political analysts weigh in on the causes and implications of the disruption.
