Political tensions in Isiolo County have escalated, with some leaders accusing their counterparts from the United Democratic Movement (UDM) party of fueling unrest and interfering in county affairs.
The fallout follows a failed attempt to impeach Governor Abdi Hassan.
Isiolo Woman Rep Mumina Bonaya, joined by current and former leaders, has alleged that UDM politicians, some from neighbouring counties, are sponsoring chaos to destabilise the county ahead of the 2027 General Election. "We know the people who have vested interests in Isiolo and are involved in sponsoring chaos… We want to tell UDM leadership that they cannot impose themselves on our people and can't forcefully impeach the Governor for our refusal to join your party," said Bonaya during a press briefing.
She was accompanied by former Governor Godana Doyo, former Isiolo South MP Abdi Koropu, County Assembly Speaker Abdullahi Banticha, Abdi Nyanure and other leaders.
