Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi has alleged that he was assaulted in Kisumu earlier today by a group of armed individuals.
According to his statement, the attackers confronted him over his perceived association with the so-called “one-term” political brigade, a phrase that has recently gained traction in Kenya’s shifting political landscape.
In his latest Facebook post, the senator described the incident as both shocking and deeply troubling.
He claimed the group demanded to know why he was aligned with a movement that appears to challenge certain political figures’ longevity in office.
The post, which has already sparked widespread reactions online, paints a picture of rising political intolerance and the dangers faced by leaders expressing dissenting views.
Osotsi’s allegations come at a time when political tensions across the country remain high, with factions increasingly clashing over future leadership narratives.
The “one-term” slogan has been interpreted by some as a direct challenge to incumbents, making it a sensitive and, at times, divisive topic. His account suggests that these tensions may now be spilling over into physical confrontations.
Leaders and citizens alike have begun calling for calm and for thorough investigations into the matter.
If verified, the incident raises serious concerns about security and the freedom of political expression. No leader, regardless of their stance, should face violence for their views.
As discussions continue online, Osotsi’s Facebook post serves as a stark reminder of the current political climate. Many Kenyans are now watching closely, not only for official responses but also for signs of whether such incidents will be addressed decisively.
